Yes, that was to help reduce the name conflicts.

Yes, but I did not have enough time to get to update anything much beyond the 
main framework.

No, that is not correct. The UI has to be loaded first before you can access 
it. That’s done automatically when creating an instance of dApp, but otherwise 
you would need:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 
import dabo.ui
dabo.ui.load_namespace()
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

That method is defined in dabo/ui/__init__.py:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 
def load_namespace():
    """Add all the UI classes to the dabo.ui namespace.

    This must be called before any UI work can be done. This is done 
automatically when `import
    dabo` is called, so you should never have to call it manually.

    IMPORTANT: the order of these imports should not be changed without 
extensive testing, as some
    classes inherit from or otherwise reference other classes, so those 
referenced classes need to
    be added to the namespace first.
    “””
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

As the docstring says, the order of the imports is critical, because so many 
classes depend on others being in the namespace already.
