I've definitely used the "search path too" behavior on purpose at various times. In particular, doing things like adding "matrix" to the search essentially narrows the result to the sage/matrix/ directory, which can be handy. Of course, this is clearly a bit of a hack, and inconsistent (as John is pointing out). So how about instead, we implement what I'm actually trying to do with this -- add a "path" optional argument to the search_* functions. (If you're using os.walk, this should be pretty trivial to add, I think.) It'd be especially fun if you could give it the name of a module (so that I could tab complete), too. -cc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
