You are importing the module SequenceInt and then calling it.

The class is inside SequenceInt so you need to
include the name twice. This is one advantage of
using lowercase for module names and mixed case
for classes - it makes this kind of mistake more obvious.

Quite correct because you needed:

either

from sequencers.SequenceInt import SequenceInt


sil = SequenceInt(...)

OR

import sequencers.SequenceInt  # better to add an "as SI" alias here?

sil = sequencers.SequenceInt.SequenceInt(...)
