Excellent, thanks! Everything works now, but I still don't quite get what the problem is...

What I don't get is: what do you mean I'm importing my main script
elsewhere by runing "python village.py"? SomethingBuiltError is
defined in the same script that I'm runing, I didn't import it, did I?
If you could please clear it up for me... or point me to relevant
literature, that's also cool, I couldn't find this thing explained
anywhere.

Anyway, thanks for the solution!
