Did you copy the function definition into chap03.py? Because the error
sounds a lot like you're trying to import something from an empty
file.

I think you may have missed the following line that occurs in the
paragraph just before the import example: "To see how this works,
assume the print_twice function is defined in a script
named chap03.py."

If you copy the code provided for 'print_twice' into your 'chap03.py'
file, the example should work.

Hope this helps.
