anything that's in the global scope  of an imported module gets executed.
For example...

-- a.py
print "hello"


 >>> import a
This will cause the "hello" to be printed from 'a.py' because it's in 
the global scope.
so what you want to do is something like this:

-a.py

def main():
print "hello"

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
---

Now if you do
 >>> import a
nothing will be printed.

But, if you do "python a.py" on command line, you'll see "hello" be printed.
I think this is the problem you're having.
