Suppose I have the dirname/both.py, which has the definitions of classes A and B. I can use this module in the following code.
################# import dirname.both a=dirname.both.A() b=dirname.both.B() #################### When the definitions of A and B become too long, it is better that I put them in two different files (to improve the maintainability), for example, dirname/A.py and dirname/B.py. Now, the code becomes ################# import dirname.A import dirname.B a=dirname.A.A() #two A seems redundant b=dirname.B.B() #two B seems redundant #################### However, the last two lines are annoying to me, as 'A' and 'B' appears twice, which seems redundant. In C++, I can define namespace independent of file hierarchy (as shown in the following code). I'm wondering if there is a way to make the namespace separate from the file hierarchy in python. #include <dirname/A.hpp> #include <dirname/B.hpp> int main() { dirname::A a = dirname::A() dirname::B b = dirname::B() } -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
