You're welcome. A few notes below.

Common usage is to put all the imports at the top of the module. There are
circumstances where you will put them inside a function but not in this case.

It's your choice, but all caps for attribute values is unusual in Python.

My guess is that nameCheck is the function that you moved out of the class. If
you want it to be part of the class, you have to call it with
self.nameCheck(value)

To put this in the class you would declare it as
def nameCheck(self, value):

Still a syntax error here!

Still recommend removing this try / except. Or you could wait until you
actually get an exception and ask here for help ;-) cuz we will ask you for the
traceback.
