Thanks for the clarification. I had always wondered what the
difference was.
A useful tip is that if you have a long module name you can also use
import module as shortname
eg
import numpy as n
and then access numpy.foo() as
n.foo()
Sacves a lot of typing for a slight loss of clarity in
maintenance - you have to remember which module the
short names refer to! I tend to use full names in real code
and use the abbreviated form when using the >>> prompt.
HTH,
