Python is telling you that the variables you're trying to import are
not at the root level of the module. Are they actually contained
within a class? Bear in mind that in Python, a "module" is just
container for source code. All sorts of data structures can live
within a single module.

If 'curVar' is really a class attribute, you'll have to either import
the class:
  from variablePage import happyFunClass
  print happyFunClass.curVar

Or just import the entire module and access the class attribute the
long way:
  import variablePage
  print variablePage.happyFunClass.curVar
