Please don't do that. In SQLObject module dbconnection imports connection modules to run registration code in their __init__; connection modules import name DBAPI from dbconnection. To avoid problems with circular import dbconnection imports connection modules at the very end. I'm afraid you plan if implemented would prevent me from doing that. See the code. dbconnection.py: https://github.com/sqlobject/sqlobject/blob/master/sqlobject/dbconnection.py#L1099 Connection modules (just a few examples): https://github.com/sqlobject/sqlobject/blob/master/sqlobject/mysql/mysqlconnection.py#L5 https://github.com/sqlobject/sqlobject/blob/master/sqlobject/postgres/pgconnection.py#L7 Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ p...@phdru.name Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
