One of the features I miss from languages such as C# is namespaces that
work across files - it makes it a lot easier to organize code IMO.
Here's an idea I had - it might not be the best idea, just throwing this
out there: a "within" keyword that lets you execute code inside a
namespace. For example:
# A.py
import types
cool_namespace = types.SimpleNamespace()
within cool_namespace:
def foo():
print("foo run")
#B.py
import A
within A.cool_namespace:
foo() # prints "foo run"
New keywords have a fairly high barrier to get over. Do you have a
convincing use case? I don't personally consider this particularly
convincing, not when it's pretty much equivalent to:
>>> import A
>>> foo = A.cool_namespace.foo
>>> foo()
To be honest I wouldn't even bother doing that, I'd just type
A.cool_namespace.foo() when I wanted it. Explicit is better than
implicit, after all.
