Passing an argument to a function in a different script?

I have a script called test.py and inside that script I have the following:

class TestClass:

    def greetings(name):

        print "Hello %s!" % name
        return;


    def oppositeBool(value):

        if value == True:
            return False;
        else:
            return True;

In terminal I do the following to import it:

$ python
>>> import test

How do I run a method now? I'd like to do the following:

test.greetings('Superman')

and:

myNewValue = test.oppositeBool(True)
print myNewValue

Because these function are in a class, so you need call the function like this:

import test
c = test.TestClass()
c.greetings('Superman')


Sure. If you really want to call the function like test.greetings('Superman'), don't define it in a class.

And by the way, a function in a class must with a self variable like this:

def greetings(self, name):

    print "Hello %s!" % name
    return
