Module Is Not Callable

This actually imports the package which contains the standard library tests:

>>> help(test)

Help on package test:

NAME
    test - # Dummy file to make this directory a package.

FILE
    c:\python22\lib\test\__init__.py
...

...and then attempts to call it -- as Python rightly points out, modules are
not callable. You'd get the same error if you tried:

>>> import os
>>> os()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

The module is a container for the objects defined within it -- for example,
in your code, you use the translate function in the string module by writing
string.translate(...).

OK. So your module is Testimonials; the function within it you want to call
is test(). So:

import Testimonials
Testimonials.test()
