No; in general, import x does not make module x.y available for use, you have to explicitly import x.y In [1]: import django In [2]: django.forms --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/kent/<ipython console> in <module>() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'forms' There are some exceptions that confuse the issue, for example you can import os and then use os.path.whatever. Other than that you are correct. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
