name 'meeg' is not defined // in separate function

[Y-Bezs]

I run my Python code in the terminal via
Python my_code.py.
The code uses functions that are saved in a separate file. All of the files are located in the same folder.

In the my_code.py I successfully import SPM viafrom spm import *
However, I get the following mistake:

D = meeg(nChans,nSamples,nTrials)
^^^^
NameError: name 'meeg' is not defined

This is part of the code within the separate function.

When I run all of it in VS code line by line, everything seems to be working
