Hi there, the documentation state that absolute_import feature is the default behaviour with python 2.7, though it seems that it behave differently with the __future__ import :
$ cat package/__init__.py import subpackage $ python2.7 Python 2.7.1+ (default, Apr 20 2011, 22:33:39) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import package >>> $ cat package/__init__.py from __future__ import absolute_import import subpackage $ python2.7 Python 2.7.1+ (default, Apr 20 2011, 22:33:39) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import package Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "package/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> import subpackage ImportError: No module named subpackage Maybe the doc should be fixed ? -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.
