Nick Coghlan added the comment: The docs sometimes try to draw a sharp distinction between modules and packages, but it's essentially a lie - a package is really just a module with a __path__ attribute, and if you know what you are doing, you make even an ordinary module behave like a package (e.g. os.path)
Until 3.3, the import system had too many internal inconsistencies for sane documentation. That's fixed in 3.3, but no comprehensive docs will be happening for earlier versions. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16891> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
