Did you try this,

from LocationService import *
LocationService.setIP('192.168.1.1')
# If you have something like LocationService --> LocationService() -->
setIP()

This is similar to using datetime.now() of the datetime module.

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.now()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'now'
>>> datetime.datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2007, 4, 21, 14, 49, 4, 506309)

Now for the same,

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2007, 4, 21, 14, 45, 42, 463064)

Or,

>>> from datetime import *
>>> datetime.now()
datetime.datetime(2007, 4, 21, 14, 46, 27, 767389)
