this class isn't what you want... you need to supply a callable either name 
that method __call__ and add a "return" of the result, or much simpler, 
leave it away and use your "input" directly below.

you're aware of side effects when using import "*"?

if you pass a callable class it must be an instance, not a class object. 
but as said above, just use your "input" here.
