But they will know how to import your module?

to be honest I think this module is a solution looking for a problem & 
you have re-invented the wheel (Square).
don't let that put you off, there are many command line tools that could 
do with a good wrapper to make them easier to use,perhaps you are tryingto 
be too general.

as this is a module intended for others to use in their programs (rather 
than a tool in its own right) the correct approach is to return the 
result & lave it for the user to print the result, or process it however 
they require.
