New submission from Barry A. Warsaw: As described here: http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=20150422115959.1ff2ee58%40limelight.wooz.org
Importing a submodule binds the submodule's name in the parent module's namespace. This is surprising, but it seems intentional and it's relied upon by existing code, e.g. asyncio/__init__.py in the stdlib. It's also not documented afaict. It should be documented in the Language Reference's section on the import system. After a little more discussion on import-sig, I plan on doing that. ---------- assignee: barry components: Documentation messages: 241816 nosy: barry, brett.cannon priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Surprising name binding behavior of submodule imports needs documenting type: behavior versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24029> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
