That's why I left it out of this proposal.
Even if it is shot down again, it still deserves to be documented together with the reasons for being shot down. This is a one-in-a-lifetime chance, so it would be sad if it were not taken into account. The extra effort would be minimal - the renaming would have to be done using a script anyway and adding an extra 'from py import ' prefix to the modules wouldn't really make the renaming more complicated ;-) > Together with absolute imports this also improves the readability >> of modules since it becomes immediately clear where the imported code >> is coming from. >> >> Note that as side-effect of this it becomes a lot harder to manipulate >> PYTHONPATH to trick Python into loading a standard module from a >> non-standard location, improving security and robustness of the >> Python installations. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 02 2007) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
