You told it to with the statement import now This statement tells Python to look in the directories in its path for a file called now.py and load it, assigning the resulting module object to the name 'now'. > Second. what does "\" mean following "self.year," It is a line continuation character - it means the text of the line continues on the next line. Is there anything else in now.py? Any print statements? When I run the code you have posted so far I just get one line of output.
