actually import is precisely the same.

 wayne at x61:test$ vi import1.py
wayne at x61:test$ vi import2.py
wayne at x61:test$ python import1.py
Imported

The contents of import1?

import import2

The contents of import2?

print "Imported"

You can define functions, classes, etc.

you call them as whatever.function(), unless you say

from module import * - then it willl import everything into the namespace of
