If I just input dir(test) I don't get "a" in my list.
import test
dir(test)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__',
'__path__']
I am using python 2.6
Am I doing anything wrong?
Are you importing the module you think you are?
t...@rubbish:~/tmp$ echo "a=42" > test.py
t...@rubbish:~/tmp$ python2.5
>>> import test
>>> dir(test)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'a']
Granted this is 2.5 (the most current I have on my Debian box,
but I also tested in 2.3 and 2.4 which are also installed)
instead of 2.6 but they should all behave the same. If I remove
test.py/test.pyc, I get the following:
t...@rubbish:~/tmp$ rm test.py test.pyc
t...@rubbish:~/tmp$ python2.5
>>> import test
>>> dir(test)
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__']
>>> test.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.5/test/__init__.pyc'
because there's apparently a module named "test" in the standard
distribution that gets found instead.
