No.  I have FormOne declared in one file and FormTwo declared in
another.  However, they are both in the same namespace (Forms).  I then
pull them into the Program.py form by using "from Form[One][Two] import
*".

>Pythonic namespace collisions are far less likely if you keep things in

"import FormOne" and then qualify the class as "FormOne.FormOne". 

So, then, is it correct to say that the namespace classes are not
namespaces at all (at least, not in the C# sense)?  In C#, I can declare
files in the same namespace in different files and then use them as a
group via Company.Namespace.Class1 and Company.Namespace.Class2.  It
sounds like instead, I need to do this:

import FormOne
import FormTwo

f  = FormOne.Forms.FormOne()
f2 = FormTWo.Forms.FormTwo()

Is this correct?

Are you importing FormOne from FormTwo and/or vice versa?

Pythonic namespace collisions are far less likely if you keep things in
their namespaces.  This is another way of saying that "from X import *"
is potentially evil and should be used very carefully.  Try saying
"import FormOne" and then qualify the class as "FormOne.FormOne".
