Tom, > could someone explain to me how the "import" function works?
Which tutorial are you reading? They should all describe import. My tutorial gives the basic description on the Simple sequences topic and then much more info in the Modules & Functions topic and again in the Namespaces topic. Between them and the Python documentation you should find all you need. But if you are still puzzled come back to us with specific questions.
