Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I agree that depending on the incidental import is a bug. Tkinter could change, or I might change 'from tkinter import *' to 'from tkinter import Tk, ...' or 'import tkinter as tk'.
Serhiy, tkinter/__init__.py imports enum, sys, and re under their own names, so that * imports incidentally import them into other programs. I believe it is customary for library modules to underscore stdlib imports to prevent this: "import enum as _enum", etc. But I don't remember is this is in the devguide. Do you think we should make the change to tkinter? ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka resolution: -> fixed stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29162> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
