Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: "Public name" is a term that describes a convention, not anything enforced by the interpreter. Names starting with underscores typically aren't public either (unless documented otherwise), but that has no effect on the ability to retrieve them as attributes. A glossary entry defining the term may be worthwhile (perhaps with a reference to pydoc.visiblename())
Dirs mentioned in .pkg files *should* be added to "the path". It's just that the path in question is pkg.__path__, not sys.path. That could probably be made clearer, but the docs aren't wrong as they stand. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11553> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
