Commiserating, not helping: I have a similar problem with a module that holds values of physical constants, http://webpages.charter.net/curryfans/peter/nature.py: boltzmanns_constant = 1.380622e-16 * erg / k stefan_boltzmann_constant = 5.66961e-5 * erg/s/cm/cm/k/k/k/k gravitational_constant = 6.6732e-8 * erg*cm/g/g I would like to reveal more details with, e.g., help( gravitational_constant ) . . . and maybe then I could use shorter names. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
