ImportError: cannot import name - newbie

[qwejohn at hotmail.com]

Hello,

I am quite a newbie to Python.
I am working on Linux Fedora Core 3.
I have wrote a small program named box.py which has only a constructor:


"""box.py"""

class box:
  def __init__(self):
    print "in box"

This program passes running "python box.py".

I had put this program under /work/dev/mytests/new

Now I want to use it from a second python program, which
resides in a totally different path.

I had tried , in a program named test.py,
"""test.py"""
sys.path = [ '/work/dev/mytests' ] + sys.path
from new import box

class test:
  def __init__(self):
    print "in test"

Running python test.py
I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in ?
    from new import box
ImportError: cannot import name box

Any idea ? 

Regards,
John
