    Keep in mind... this is Python SCRIPT, not full Python.  Not everything needs to have a class to be able to execute.  You can use classes, but they are not required for execution of functions.

This behavior is similar to a launching this code(e.g. in Python IDLE):

def test():
  print "hello world"
test()

but if you want to print the message in TestComplete, need to use: Log.Message("hello world")

but my question is not about printing it's about how test complete works when there is no class but only routines inside .py script file?

    As far as I understand it works without the class. Do you have any errors?
