e..g >>> import datetime >>> class MyHandler(object): ... def get(self): ... print datetime ... >>> datetime <module 'datetime' (built-in)> >>> x = MyHandler() >>> x.get() <module 'datetime' (built-in)> So other things are at work here. You need to show a full set of working code that exhibits this problem. You may have monkey patching going on.
