So don't use it. This has been discussed thousands of times and it starts getting annoying. There are many people (including myself and all our customers) that simply love using star-imports with PyQt, since the leading Q* on most symbols is already a clear enough indication of where the symbol is coming from. Appending the underscore to those symbols is a perfect fix IMO. I don't see why people that don't use star-imports in the first place should care about it at all. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
