Howdy, I brought this up on c.l.p., was encouraged to try it here.
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/88474a32877026fc/ ================================================== from image import annotate ImportError: cannot import name annotate I found the problem via import image print image.__file__ which told me the wrong image module had been found. It would be nice if ImportError announced this up front: ImportError: cannot import name annotate from /usr/<snip>/image.pyc ================================================== I got a bit of encouragement, and a patch from Wojtek Walczak http://www.stud.umk.pl/~wojtekwa/patches/from-import-py2.5.1.patch a bit more encouragement: "I think the acceptance for this wouldn't be that hard since there is no real issue for regression (the only one I could think of is for doctest module, although I'm not sure there are any reason to test for failed import in doctest)" and a caveat: "I have code that uses numpy if available, otherwise uses slower normal Python code. Inside the doctests I'd like to test both situations..." I can't write the C code myself, or evaluate the patch. I think this change might save some other poor schlub the time I've spent fussing with this issue.
