Yes, that's it.  As mentioned elsewhere, you have to reference the
module name in order to let python know _which_ one you want.

For example, you could have the same DbPath() method in two different
modules: module1 and  module2, so you need to be able to differentiate.

module1.DbPath() is not the same thing as module2.DbPath()

Your functions.DbPath() is the way to go.
