Hi, > I think a consensus is building in the python community that you should > NEVER use import *!
Well, I have only been coding python for a few years, but I would say, along with writing unit tests, the great importance of not using import * is one of the secrets that you learn slowly and painfully with experience. Chris' point about the movement of big projects away from that idiom is a very good one. It is convenient, but over time you realize that the value of convenience is far outweighed by the namespace mess and loss of clarity that results.
