I too am a pydev user. OK, the auto_completion issues isn't a problem when using wildcard imports, but this effectively forces us to use wildcard imports which is ... unpythonic! e.g. compare from OCC import BRepPrimAPI, TDF, STEPControl, gp, TopLoc to from OCC.BRepPrimAPI import * from OCC.TDF import * from OCC.STEPControl import * from OCC.gp import * from OCC.TopLoc import * The more packages you use, the more cumbersome this becomes. > > Doing the namespaces differently is non trivial, I'm not proposing to change the name-spaces, but to rename classes to remove the prefix (on the grounds that it is redundant information, given that all classes live in their appropriate package name-space). If I am unable to provide a straightforward patch for this, I'll withdraw the idea! > and frankly I think > the current situation is pretty good. Does this mean your against the proposal? I'd appreciate it if you can give a clear statement of your views (e.g. -1,0,+1 etc.). I'll accept the overall consensus. I just want to be sure this topic is debated now, because as the number of pythonOCC users increases it will soon become impossible to change.
