web2py Can't import run functions from imported module

I'm trying to import external modules into my controller code for a web2py application. The module I'm importing is located in myapp/modules and seems to import fine. However, it doesn't let me call any of the functions defined in there; gives the following error 'module' object has no attribute 'testfunc'

I'm importing like this:

import json_utils as u

And calling like this:

u.testfunc()

Am I missing something obvious here? I have tried stop/starting the server in case its not reloaded the file.

Cheers

EDIT: Here is the entire json_utils.py file:

def testfunc():
    return 3

def testfunc2():
    # some stuff
    return 5

Problem is web2py caching external modules. Stop/Starting the server is not enough, I need to kill the whole thing are reboot.

The module json_utils has no built-in function testfunc()

for example if I do

import random
u.nonfunction()

and then I run it I get AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'nonfunction'

but if I do a function that it has

import random
random = u.randrange(1,10)
print(random)

It works properly

It's saying that json_utils has no function called testfunc
