Are you by any chance testing this from inside an IDE and added the 
tri() fuinction after the square one?

If so I'd suggest shutting down the IDE and restarting.
You may be seeing the old module imported prior to your
adding tri()

There is a reload()??? function for reloading modules that have
already been loaded to avoid this kind of thing but I don't
trust it entirely so if in doubt shut the IDE down and
restart...

Or just try running it in the command line interpreter
instead...

Assuming my guess at the cause is correct of course.
