Only rather vaguely -- it's really somewhat different. With imports, .foo is an abbreviation for myself.foo, where myself is the absolute name for the current module, and you could replace all instances of .foo with that. But in the suggested scheme, .foo wouldn't have any such interpretation -- there would be no other way of spelling it. Also, with imports, the dot refers to a single well- defined point in the module-name hierarchy, but here it would imply a search upwards throught the scope hierarchy. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiam! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ 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
