Late to the party.

I don't think you need to import stdnum.pl,

Just stdnum

That's what the second error message implies.

You have to import the module and use the function from the imported
namespace.

For example:

    from stdnum.pl import nip
    nip.validate('PL8921489098')

Or

    from stdnum import vatin
    vatin.validate('PL8921489098')

It is also possible to import the module like so:

    import stdnum.pl.nip
    stdnum.pl.nip.validate('PL8921489098')

and even:

    from stdnum.pl.nip import validate
    validate('PL8921489098')

(the last form has the downside that it is more difficult to import
multiple validate functions)

Hope this helps a bit,
