New submission from Anthony Foglia <afog...@gmail.com>:
Looking at the documentation for the __import__ builtin, the default value of
the level parameter is unclear. Two different values are mentioned. The
function signature is written:
__import__(name, globals={}, locals={}, fromlist=[], level=-1)
But the third paragraph begins: "level specifies whether to use absolute or
relative imports. 0 (the default) means only perform absolute imports."
So which is it, -1 or 0?
I'm guessing 0. If -1 is still a valid value, it needs to be described.
