So we're mostly in agreement, but I had also wanted to leave out importString. I know it can seem simpler to treat everything as an object, and not worry about where the type switches from package to module to instance to attribute. I see it used in Twisted. But I'm not sure it is *really* simpler for someone who isn't familiar with your codebase, and I don't see why it is needed for whenImported. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
