Importing a module creates a new namespace for the names in that module.:

$ python3.2
Python 3.2 (r32:88452, Feb 20 2011, 11:12:31) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> time.clock()
0.091744

You might want to review the Python tutorial here:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/index.html

And, by the way, you should upgrade to Python 3.2 as soon as possible.  
Python 3.0.1 was a very early release of Python 3.  It is known to be 
buggy and is no longer supported.
