I suspect you're on the wrong path.  You probably want to import 
namelookup within namelooupWrapper to use the functions it defines.

Consider:

[root at fcfw2 src]# cat > test1.py

def say(what): print what

[root at fcfw2 src]# cat > test2.py

#!/usr/local/bin/python
import sys
from test1 import say
say(sys.argv[1])

[root at fcfw2 src]# chmod a+x test2.py

[root at fcfw2 src]# ./test2.py hello
hello


HTH,
