Hi, A common line I've seen in Python code I come across is:
#!/usr/bin/python import os import sys import errors I was wondering about the line that says, "import errors". I understand what it's for, but what I don't get is how Python knows which 'errors.py' to import. On my laptop: macbook:bin han$ locate errors.py | grep -E 'py$' /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.4.2.1/lib/IPCE/Lib/_codecs_errors.py /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.4.2.1/lib/IPCE/Lib/fepy/codecs_errors.py /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Skype4Py/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/distutils/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac/macerrors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/distutils/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/email/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/macerrors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/email/errors.py /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/plat-mac/macerrors.py ... so there seem to be more than one 'errors.py' - one for the email module, one for Skype4Py, etc. How does the interpreter know which one to import? Thanks for all your time, btw - I'm learning a lot lurking on this list and greatly appreciate all the people offering help and advice. cheers, Pete _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
