Something interesting here! I just tried to simulate your problems: python 2.7.12 >>> import logging as operator # I want to mask operator module >>> from operator import _compare_digest as compare_digest # WHAT? >>> operator.__name__ # OK 'logging' >>> operator._compare_digest # OK Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_compare_digest' >>> compare_digest.__name__ # ? '_compare_digest' >>> compare_digest.__class__ # ? <type 'builtin_function_or_method'> >>> compare_digest.__module__ # ? 'operator' >>> operator.log.__module__ # OK 'logging' python 3.6.1 works as I expected >>> import logging as operator >>> from operator import _compare_digest as compare_digest Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: cannot import name '_compare_digest' -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
