I nearly always use my browser's search function to find the module of interest, so yes, I'm effectively using a flat namespace. >Another indicator of what lies ahead is the current organization of os vs >os.path.

I mostly remember, but there are some notable exceptions: exists (posix system call, expect to find it in os), walk (which is the old deprecated one? have to check doc). -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ _______________________________________________ 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
