how to create an instance of class python

I am learning about classes in Python, using Python 3.4.1 and am attempting to make a class and then call the methods from that class. I have looked at other questions related to this and unfortunately, I can't seem to make it work. Here is my class (copied straight from the book)

class Counter(object):
    """Models a counter"""
    instances = 0
    def __init__(self):
        """Sets up counter"""
        Counter.instances += 1
        self.reset()
    def reset(self):
        """Sets counter to 0"""
        self._value=0
    def increment(self, amount = 1):
        """Adds amount to counter"""
        self._value += amount
    def decrement(self, amount = 1):
        """Subtracts amount from counter"""
        self._value -= amount
    def getValue(self):
        return self._value
    def __str__(self):
        return str(self._value)
    def __eq__(self, other):
        """Returns True if self == other and False if not"""
        if self is other:
            return True
        if type(self)!=type(other):
            return False
        return self._value==other._value

and this is how I'm calling it from another file (in the same folder):

import Counter
h = Counter()
print(h.getValue())

and this is the error I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python34/learning/classtest.py", line 3, in <module>
h = Counter()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I can type import Counter just fine into the shell, but when I get to h = Counter() I get the same error. I know I'm doing something wrong, but what?
