Replace from test import Test with import test print test.__file__ raise SystemExit The test file you are importing is probably not the one you expect. To fix that make sure that the directory of /your/ test.py is in sys.path /before/ the directory of the test file you are accidentally importing. Even better, rename it to something unambiguous as the name 'test' is already taken by the test package of a vanilla Python installation. For example, I get >>> import test >>> test.__file__ '/usr/local/lib/python2.4/test/__init__.pyc' The ImportError is actually an AttributeError in disguise: >>> import test >>> test.Test Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Test' >>> from test import Test Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
