[issue9068] from . import *

[Haoyu Bai]

New submission from Haoyu Bai divine...@gmail.com:

from . import * is valid syntax in CPython (both 2.6 and py3k) but in the 
language reference it is not allowed:

http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-import-statement

[issue9068] from . import *

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon br...@python.org added the comment:

That's because while it is syntactically allowed, it is semantically 
disallowed. The grammar rules shown in the docs is a generalization of the 
actual grammar used to build the parser so that we can take shortcuts with it 
to simply not have rules that will pass the parser but fail in the compiler.
