Now, another App Engine related question: This code: --- import google print "Content-Type: text/html" print "" print "<head>" print "</head>" print "<body>" print "google",dir(google) print "</body>" --- Gives this output: --- google ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'appengine', 'net', 'pyglib'] --- appengine, net and pyglib are path (so subpackages of google package), not modules. Why when i import the google package all those subpackages are imported? In the __init__.py file i can't find anything (__all__ for example), and if i add a directory with a .py file at the same level of appengine, it doesn't get imported.
