This makes the name 'os' available to Python.

But Python does not know the names of anything inside os.
To use a function within os you must prefix the function name
with os, thus:
>>> os.listdir(....)
The "Simple Sequences" and "Modules and Functions" topics
in my tutorial address this issue in more depth.
