noob import question

[Brian Blazer]

OK, I have a very simple class here:

class Student:
     """Defines the student class"""

     def __init__(self, lName, fName, mi):
         self.lName = lName
         self.fName = fName
         self.mi = mi

Then I have a small script that I am using as a test:

from Student import *

s1 = Student("Brian", "Smith", "N")

print s1.lName

This works as expected.  However, if I change the import statement to:
import Student

I get an error:
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I have tried to look up what is going on, but I have not found  
anything.  Would it be possible for someone to take a minute and give  
an explanation?

Thank you - your time is appreciated.
