I went with your first way, and it works with a script in python25\dev:
# 1test-8.py
from mine import mycalc
print mycalc.numberCommas(12341234123)

 >>>
Evaluating 1test-8.py
12,341,234,123

But fails here:
# 1test-9.py
from mine import mycalc
from mycalc import numberCommas
print numberCommas(12341234123)

 >>>
Evaluating 1test-9.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <string>
ImportError: No module named mycalc
 >>>

I guess I can live with that.

Careful now. I just might show up!
