Re: why _import__ only works from interactive interpreter?

I'm on Windows, but I think you need the shebang thing at the top of your script, right? Then, put whatever you want to import in a script or module called testmod.py. Then you should be able to import either into a script or at the command line using simply: import testmod If it doesn't work

It's not that, it looks like __import__looks into sys.path, so if use an absolute path it cannot work. I found this thread and it seems they are right:

utility functions within a class?

I might be missing something obvious here, but I decided to experiment with writing a program that involves a class, so I'm somewhat new to this in Python. Anyway, what is the best way to create a function (A) within a class that another function (B) can use? Function A is not something that

It sounds like all you want is some encapsulation, the following makes methods __head__ and __body__ private - the double underscores are important. I'd suggest reading the Object bits of the python tutorial also. class HTMLWrapper: def generate(self, ...): ... self.__head__(foo)

Re: utility functions within a class?

You do *NOT* want to put double-underscores before and after a method name. That does not indicate a private method, it indicates a magic method -- something that has special meaning to Python. Thus, you have special methods like __init__(), __len__(), __getattr__(), __setattr__(), etc; all of
