Or, perhaps less intrusively (sourcecodewise), "from leo.core import leoX", as you mention later on. > Requirement 2. We have got to be able to override the Leo package > defined in site-packages.

In ipython we have ipython.py at root of the source distribution, and it just does the import and launch. Also, you can benefit from setuptools here. See e.g. "eggsetup.py" in ipython. If you do 'python eggsetup.py develop", a small wrapper will be installed in site-packages and all places that import the leo package will see the bzr checkout. > In short: > > A: We must rename leo.py.

This is a misfeature in python, but the plan is to require fully qualified import for package modules anyway (but of course that will break lots of stuff).
