On the filesystem: $ find src/ZODB/FileStorage/ -name "*.py" src/ZODB/FileStorage/fspack.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/__init__.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/fsdump.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/fsoids.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/format.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/interfaces.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/tests.py src/ZODB/FileStorage/FileStorage.py So, 'ZODB.FileStorage.FilesStorage' could logically be either the 'Filestorage' module inside the 'ZODB.FileStorage' package, or else the same-named class. As with ZODB.DB, getting to the actual module is tricky, because both thses imports give you the class:: from ZODB.FileStorage import FileStorage and:: From ZODB.FileStorage.FileStorage import FileStorage I'm tempted to rename the 'DB.py' module 'db.py', and jam in a BBB entry in sys.modules for 'ZODB.DB'; likewise, I am tempted to rename the 'FileStorage.py' package 'filestorage', its same-named module '_filestorage.py', and jam in BBB entries for the old names. Those renames would make the "preferred" API: >>> from ZODB import DB # convenience alias for the class >>> from ZODB import db # the moodule >>> from ZODB.db import DB # my preferred speling >>> from ZDOB.filestorage imoprt FileStorage # conv. alias for class >>> from ZODB import filestorage # the package >>> from ZODB.filestorage import FileStorage # my preferred speling >>> from ZODB.filestorage import _filestorage # if needed For extra bonus fun, we could rename 'ZODB' to 'zodb' :) Tres. - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 tsea...@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlD0oOgACgkQ+gerLs4ltQ4LOwCgu3VSRklLjFMdkuWLkUNV4h2S m/MAoKMI+ZrTqFUnXkgGNSw7Gq2yYN0V =67De -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see http://zodb.org/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
