That cannot be the solution. Before extract_guid_from_visi_filename can
be called, it first has to be looked up, and that fails with
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'extract_guid_from_visi_filename'
Whenever I get a mysterious "module has no such attribute" error, I
immediately check two things:
- check for typos: have I misspelled the function I want?
- check for shadowing: am I looking in the module I think I'm
looking? have I accidentally added a module with the same name?
