true I get the following:  
  File "H:\dev\eclipse\workspace\genXls\src\genXls\genXlswPrompt.py", line 11, in <module>
    import promptUser_PWord
  File "H:\dev\eclipse\workspace\genXls\src\genXls\promptUser_PWord.py", line 58
    return user_pword
SyntaxError: 'return' outside function

so what I get from the various postings is promptUser_PWord must be
converted to a class.  True?
