Having to mess around with __import__ just to support a "choose compression method" configuration option would be fairly annoying.
Perhaps, but even then, I'm not sure it makes sense to lump them all into the same namespace. If you're choosing a compression method, it makes sense to choose 'zip', 'gzip', or 'bzip2', but less sense to choose 'hex' or 'base64', and even less 'utf8' or 'latin1'. Similarly there will be different appropriate sets for video encoding, audio encoding, etc. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
