Thus, you solved your first problem?
The module is imported?

All names starting with "_" (2 exceptions) are considered
private in a restricted execution context (DTML, Python Scripts).

I would not expect that such names inside your imported module
would make a problem, but certainly, you could not use such
names in your Python Script.
