Note that in Jython importing a module makes all subpackages beneath it available, whereas in python, only the tokens available in __init__.py are accessible, but if you do load the module later even if not getting it directly into the namespace, it gets accessible too -- this seems more like something unexpected to me -- I would expect it to be available only if I did some "import xml.dom" at some point.
My problem is that in Pydev, in static analysis, I would only get the tokens available for actually imported modules, but that's not true for Jython, and I'm not sure if the current behaviour in Python was expected.
So... which would be the right semantics for this?
Thanks,
Fabio
