I'm not one of the 'experts', but this is how I do it and it seems to work=
 fine; just 'execfile' the file with the functions:

 InputStream functionFileStream =3D FileIO.FindFileOrStream(=
 functionListName, dataPath, "functions", debugLevel);
 python.execfile( functionFileStream, functionListName); // pass the name=
 for parsing errors

This way the names are scoped into the top level.

(My 'FindFileOrStream' finds the function file in a file or jar in the=
 'dataPath'. I have a list of functions files in an XML configuration=
 file.)
