This is not a problem with def, just a misunderstanding of import. <wink>
You have to access the names of the test123 module like:

>>> import test123
>>> test123.here()
hello

that was a space
>>> 

You could also use the "from x import y" statement:

>>> from test123 import here
>>> here()
hello

that was a space
>>> 

Peace,
