What exactly to you mean by "import the contents of that file into the 
python interpreter"? Other people have put your code in a script, 
executed it, and saw it working as expected. I pasted in IPython, and 
likewise saw it working as expected, and the same with IDLE. It seems to 
me you must be doing something different from us; maybe the way you 
execute that code might be the key to this whole confusion.
