'module has not attribute' error when accessing a function

Question

I've my main code in addon.py

In the same folder, there is video.py

In addon.py I do

import video

video.play(params)

In video.py

print 'loaded'

def play(params)
   ..... [omitted code]

When executing, I got an error, because

Error Contents: 'module' object has no attribute 'play'

Also: the print is NOT executed.

What's wrong ? It seems that the module is not loaded, but if I try to add a syntax error to the file, the compiler warn me about it, so I'm a lot confused

I tried to rename to my_video, and the error is the same

You could write a print statement in video.py to see if it's imported. — dutt

I Added print "bla bla" to video.py but it's not executed. — realtebo

There might be a standard module interfering with your import, trying using another name. — dutt

In the directory with addon.py and video.py modules add an empty __init__.py file to define the package.

+- your_package/
        |- __init__.py  
        |- addon.py
        |- video.py
