Anyway, to make a long story short, we came up with an alternative
implementation plan that actually solves some other problems besides
the one that PEP 382 sets out to solve, and whose implementation a
bit is easier to explain. (In fact, for users coming from various
other languages, it hardly needs any explanation at all.)
I have a question.
If I have (on sys.path) a module "x.py" containing, say:
y = 5
and (also on sys.path), a directory "x" containing a "y.py" module.
What is "from x import y" supposed to do?
(currently, it would bind "y" to its value in x.py)
It would behave the same as it does today: the imported value of 'y' would be 5.
Virtual packages only kick in if an import would otherwise fail.
Wouldn't it produce confusing situations like the above example?

Antoine.

y = 6
what is "from x import y" supposed to do?
I guess I don't see how this new proposal makes anything more confusing
than it already is?
