I sometimes wish for a nice, solid lazy module import mechanism that manages to avoid the potential deadlock problems created by using import statements inside functions.
I created an ad-hoc one of these for PyGUI recently. I can send you the code if you're interested. I didn't have any problems with deadlocks, but I did find one rather annoying problem. It seems that an exception occurring at certain times during the import process gets swallowed and turned into a generic ImportError. I had to resort to catching exceptions and printing my own traceback in order to diagnose missing auto-imported names. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
