[python-win32] New python user - first question

[Jim Abrams]

No poking fun here, one time I spent 2 days trying to uncover very
strange bugs in my test.py module.

Then someone let me onto the hint that python has a built in module named test.
As soon as I renamed my module to something else all worked fine.

RA> def foo(a):

RA> Then, the asp page looks like this

RA> <%@ LANGUAGE = Python %>

RA> <%
RA> import test

RA> test.foo('hello')

RA> When I run it, I get "AttributeError: 'test' module has no attribute 'foo'"

RA> Reeeeal simple, but I'm missing something. Anyone care to poke fun at the
