It was part of PEP 328 (Relative Imports) [*] -- and actually, taking a quick look at the PEP, it appears that the links within it point to some discussion about the "import *" issue. [*] General note to the list: see how I'm using both the PEP number and the title. For those of us who don't live and breath PEPs it is really helpful to have both. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "It is easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code." --Bill Harlan _______________________________________________ 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
