Environment
Python 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.10 beta
Reporter: Richard Esplin
Priority: Critical
I want to use cmislib as a package in my project's lib directory. This is hard
for a few reasons:
* The reference to cmislib.net inside of cmislib.models cannot resolve when
cmislib is not in the top level directory of my project.
* I didn't know to look at cmislib.models at first (not a big deal).
* cmislib.exceptions cannot be imported directly because the module name
overrides Python's standard exceptions module.
The attached patch resolves these concerns as follows:
* It changes the calls to cmislib.net to intra-package calls (just net).
* It add public classes from cmislib.models to the package namespace to
abstract the internal package architecture.
* By always accessing the modules through the package abstraction, "import
exceptions" doesn't need to be used.
* Documentation is updated to reflect these changes.
I hope this is helpful. Thank you for the great project.
