scitools is a package (on disk, a directory).  When you import it as a 
module, the module object is created by executing scitools.__init__.py. 
  If that file is empty, so will be the module created from it.  Try 
print(dir(scitools)) to see.

In fact, I suspect scitools has no attributes other that the default 
module attributes.

You can always check the scitools directory to see that it has the 
contents you expect.  In particular, you can look at its __init__.py 
file to see what it will have on import.

I believe you could also do

import scitools.numpyutils
print "Sequence is: ",scitools.numpyutils.seq(0,10,1)

but it is usually more convenient to do the 'import from' so you do not 
have to repeat the full dotted name sequence.
