Class instantiation fails when passed in a file but work via line byline interpreter

Odd issue I am having with class instantiation on Python 2.5.2 (Windows).

I have a custom module with a few classes in it. The module is named SAML.py.
There is a copy of it in C:\Python25\Lib \site-packages\SAML.p y.

Basically when I try to run a python file that tries to create an
instance of the class Subject I get this error:
AttributeError: type object 'SAML' has no attribute 'Subject'

In SAML.py I have the class...

class Subject(object) :
...
...
etc

However, when I run the same line by line by starting up python it works.
>import SAML
subject = SAML.Subject("J o*****@example. com","EMailAddr ess")
>>print subject
<SAML.Subject object at 0x00C94770>
>>>
I've double checked I am loading the correct module by the usage of the -v flag.
What else should I be checking?

I had a need recently to check if my subclasses properly implemented the desired interface and wished that I could use something like an abstract base class in python. After reading up on metaclass magic, I wrote the following module. It is mainly useful as a light weight tool to help programmers catch mistakes at definition time (e.g., forgetting to implement a method required by the given interface). This is handy when unit tests or...

I've had a hell of a time finding something that doesn't segfault and is interoperable with .NET. As far as your problem goes, I would guess that somewhere you've got a class named SAML that's shadowing your module. See the difference in...

Random related question. If you're writing a SAML implementation have I guess you could call it a SAML implementation. Really I am writing it so I can get more familiar with the specification. Right now it is far enough along that it generates signed assertions. This is definitely a tangent but since you asked I use PyXMLSec. I wrote a blog post on compiling it for Windows so I wouldn't forget how I did it:...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
