In a module where you import 'foo' I don't understand why you would name a local variable 'foo'. So I'm not sure how the conflict would arise. Perhaps more to the point, I would expect that non-words are just as likely to accidentally conflict with variable or function names, your personal habits notwithstanding. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
