You have the following code at the top and the bottom of index.py:

cgitb.enable() print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n' print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"css/msa.css\" >" # [...] ## Calling all the functions of the class template with object (objx) objx=HtmlTemplate() # [...] objx.CloseHtml() 

This will be called each time you import index.

To prevent this happening, put it in a block thus:

if __name__ == '__main__': cgitb.enable() print 'Content-type: text/html\n\n' print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"css/msa.css\" >" # [...] ## Calling all the functions of the class template with object (objx) objx=HtmlTemplate() # [...] objx.CloseHtml() 

...or better still in a function that can be called from elsewhere.

Presuming index.py loks a bit more like this:

class Template:   def header(self): print 'header'  def body(self): print 'body'  def form(self): print 'form'    def footer(self): print 'footer' 

With each method taking self as its first parameter (which you mention in response to another question), then display.py can take the following form:

import index t = index.Template() t.header() t.body() t.form() t.footer() 

Unlike 'from index import Template', this does not pollute the display namespace with Template, meaning that you won't clase if you import another module defining a symbol called Template.

Running python display.py should then output this:

header body form footer
