Leonel, in your example, if "import peartree" doesn't bring in Pear (and thus Pear needs to be imported explicitly) - then... How is Pear accessible at all? I mean, if Pear is not accessible - then what's the difference between direct usage and indirect usage? I guess I am missing something basic on how namespaces work, but it seems straightforward to me: if rows=db.select() works and rows is known to be an instance of the class Rows, and Rows is recognized as a class and can be used, just... not directly??? I mean, it should be either visible or invisible, and if it's visible - everything about it is visible, and if it's invisible - everything about it should be invisible... So, how can it be that it's visible and recognized as a class, yet the details of this class are hidden - so it can be used partially but not fully?? I am mystified. Thank you for your patience :)
