this is the end of something (as per the closing paren) The error 
message would indicate that the name on the start of this something is a 
module name.  so you've likely done something like:

import xyz
xyz(a,b,c,d,e...,rationvtorc)

when you should be doing something like:

import xyz
xyz.callable(a,b,c,d,e...,rationvtorc)
