Hm, ok, that makes sense. However I have changed the name of the module within my app and restart web2py but I'm still getting the same error. Now the case is: site-packages/mymodule/a.py site-packages/mymodule/b.py applications/myapp/modules/c.py
a.py imports b.py and is saying it does not have the attribute 'function'. I have tried explicitly naming the package.module within a.py (import mymodule.b.py as opposed to just import b.py) but that made no difference.
