Hi Keith, Thanks for your response. I actually am familiar with python's import statement as I have been programming in python for years now :) I'm afraid I don't see how your response answers my question about dotted assembly names and python code compiled with pyc.py. Could you maybe clarify for me?
Maybe this is all by design and I just shouldn't be trying this. But it seems to me that in order to make pyc.py useful there should be the possibility to implement package/module hierarchies and unless I am mistaken the only way you can do that now is if your application runs from source.
