You can. It just doesn't mean quite the same thing -- see below. > > or for that matter: > > <%@ page imports="package.module"%> How can you possibly do that?

Why should PSP break > the '.' chain? You need a way to distinguish between these two imports: from package.subpackage import module import package.subpackage.module These correspond to: <%@ page imports="package.subpackage:module"%> <%@ page imports="package.subpackage.module"%> In other words, the colon is the equivalent of the "from X import Y" idiom. X and Y can include dots if needed. Seems 100% consistent with Python's imports. - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
