compare and contrast:

    C:\Python24>python
    Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19)
    >>> stoneage.log("hello")
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    NameError: name 'stoneage' is not defined
    >>> sys.platform
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    NameError: name 'sys' is not defined
    >>> import sys
    >>> sys.platform
