Here is a version of the code, stripped of the timeit code. The above segment exhibits the same symptoms as the previously submitted one.
Even though I am running this as "__main__" it behaves as though it is not __main__. i.e. if I run this with pyOxide without the 'run as __main__' option, it generates the same ImportError ('Can't import y1') as it does when run in the PythonIDE.
In the pythonIDE it generates the error whether the 'run as __main__' option is on or off. As a test of that option, I verified that the following code only runs when the __main__ option is on and it worked as expected:
The issue probably lies with the fact that (definitely) PythonIDE and (probably) PyOXIDE have the dumbest possible implementation of an interactive interpreter. They use the *same interpreter* that runs the IDE itself. Since the module namespace is flat, there can only be one __main__, and it belongs to the IDE. This is the least of the issues you will experience when using such an interpreter.
Wing and IDLE don't have this problem, last I checked. Other than that, I have no idea which IDEs are stupid and which are not.
