importing a module file into python

Question

I am beginning to learn python. I wrote the following module file to be imported into python, but the output in IDLE does not show anything. Please help

def main():
    print("This program illustrates a chaotic function")
    x=eval(input("enter a number between 0 and 1:"))
    for i in range(10):
        x=3.9*x*(1-x)
        print(x)

main()

I used import chaos command to import the module, but it doesn't show any output.

Is this file called exactly chaos.py (starting with lowercase and ending with .py?) Have you put it into the correct directory? — ForceBru

-------chaos.py----------

def main():
    print("This program illustrates a chaotic function")
    x=eval(input("enter a number between 0 and 1:"))
    for i in range(10):
        x=3.9*x*(1-x)
        print(x)

-------fileimport.py---------

import chaos
chaos.main()

Note Both these files should be in same directory
