To use gd or an other name instead of golddust, include in your script:
import golddust as gd
where gd is the name you want to change it to. Then you will be able to enter the name you have chosen followed by the function, for example:
gd.numbers.isprime(1)
For other infomation you can run the script directly, this will also show if your system is fully configured for Gold Dust as well as a place to test commands.
