If this is the actual source you're running, then CopyAndPaste is a
module, not a type, and that causes the conflict.  Use
CopyAndPaste.CopyAndPaste, or change the import line to read "from
CopyAndPaste import CopyAndPaste".  Or, even better, adhere to
recommendations laid down in PEP 8 and you'll avoid confusion between
module and class names.
