[Tutor] Useing Functions

[Kevin]

I mande a simple module called define.py just to try it out. However when
put import defines in the main file I get an error:   Traceback (most recent
call last):
  File "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\files\python\test.py", line 5, in ?
    YesNo(x, y)
NameError: name 'YesNo' is not defined

however when I put from define import YesNo
it works fine. Why will it not work in the ladder half?
