Time module is not behaving.

[jjlofaro]

Hi

I'm just getting myself going again on Python and would appreciate any
help.

My install of Python seems to have some difficulty loading and using the
time module in a script.  Strange thing is that if I start another
instance of Python I can type in my program manually/interactively and
it works.

The version of Python I am using is...

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar  7 2008, 04:10:12)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2

Installed on a Ubuntu 7.10 workstation.

Here's my little program....

jeff at office:~/tmp$ more < time.py

import time
print time.time()

And this is what happens when I run it....

jeff at office:~/tmp$ python time.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "time.py", line 1, in <module>
     import time
   File "/home/jeff/tmp/time.py", line 2, in <module>
     print time.time()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable
Error in sys.excepthook:

   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/__init__.py", line 1,

     from apport.report import Report
   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/report.py", line 14, in

   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 28, in <module>
     import time
   File "/home/jeff/tmp/time.py", line 2, in <module>
     print time.time()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Original exception was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "time.py", line 1, in <module>
     import time
   File "/home/jeff/tmp/time.py", line 2, in <module>
     print time.time()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

jeff at office:~/tmp$

Any hints or tips appreciated.
Jeff.
