ok, so you got me thinking about import in the way of models, modules, and controllers. where does packages fit into that scheme? anyway, reading sort of confused me more. what is the defined functionality of a model, module, controller, and package in the python scheme of things? do you have a good link that explains that?
so i figured i would just show and ask. i am importing like this: import numpy from scipy import stats from scipy import optimize which one of these takes the longest to load? i am optimizing for speed and can adjust the code accordingly. thanx lucas --
