Hi,
I really thought that I had this importing business down.
I recently downloaded and installed mx module for the DateTime class.
In IDLE, I go:
import mx
mx.DateTime.Dat eTime(2004)
I get AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'DateTime'
but if you type:
import mx.DateTime
mx.DateTime.Dat eTime(2004)
<DateTime object for '2004-01-01 00:00:00.00' at a979e0>
If you "import mx", like the first example, doesn't that get everything?
If you know, from the docs, that it contains a DateTime class and then a
DateTime object, and you specify the whole thing, why shouldn't that work?
thanks for your patience

mx is a package, mx.DateTime is a module; you need to import a module
to get to its contents.
but if you type: import mx.DateTime mx.DateTime.Dat eTime(2004) <DateTime object for '2004-01-01 00:00:00.00' at a979e0> If you "import mx", ... doesn't that get everything?
If mx were a module, you would be right. However, it is a "package,"
a collection of modules and packages. Packages are a way of keeping
the names one provider of many python modules from conflicting with
the module names of both you and python itself.
If you know, from the docs, that it contains a DateTime class and then a DateTime object,
mx.DateTime.Dat eTime is a class, not an object.
You could do:
from mx.DateTime import DateTime
to simply get the DateTime class and then use DateTime(2004).

Hello everyone,
First, I have to say that Python is one of the coolest programing
languages I have seen.
And now for the problem (must be a silly one):
When I import a module I have wrote, and then I find bugs, it seems that
I can't import it again after a fix it. It always shows the same
problem. I try del module but it doesn't work.
(I use Python 2.4 with the ActivePython pack (PythonWin IDE)

Hello,
I have a large legacy MFC application. As is typical, there is an

staticly linking in many libraries resulting in one very large DLL that has
the bulk of the code.
I've downloaded the MFCWinFormsSample.EXE and have noticed that the main app
could stay as a native executable (i.e. no CLR support) whereas the various

It appears that (windows) python searches in the current working
directory before looking in the local site-packages directory, or that
'.' comes first in sys.path? The problem arises when I made the mistake
of running a test program from the same directory where I built and
installed my package. Python uses the package from the current
directory, which misses the pyd files, instead of the site-packages
package which has them installed.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
