There are two ways to solve this problem, which partially
arises giving to your function the same name as to  your
module.

1. way: call countdown.countdown(3)
which means: execute the function countdown (with argument 3)
from module countdown

2. way: change the import statement to
from countdown import countdown
(or: from countdown import * (i. e. everything))
then countdown(3) should work.

 There is no best way, only a best way for you. Depends
on your needs, I think.
