yeah, "from package import *" doesn't actually import every name from a module. For example, by default, names starting with an underscore are not imported. Alternatively, if you have a variable named __all__ in your module, and it's a list of names, only those names in the list actually get imported when you do a "from x import *" Hugo _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
