New submission from Dirk Herrmann <dirk.herrmann-pri...@gmx.de>:
In the language reference, section "7.11 The import statement" is is explained in the example section: import foo.bar.baz # foo.bar.baz imported, foo bound locally When looking at "5.3. Searching", it is stated that regarding foo.bar.baz: In this case, Python first tries to import foo, then foo.bar, and finally foo.bar.baz. I find this confusing. Assuming that 5.3 is correct, the examples in 7.11 could be improved, like, for the sample line mentioned above: import foo.bar.baz # foo, foo.bar and foo.bar.baz imported, foo bound locally ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 386532 nosy: Dirk Herrmann, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [doc] Inconsistent / confusing documentation regarding importing submodules type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43138> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
