self-test failed. On looking into it, I noticed odd behaviour in the
handling of single underscore module names. Importing into the
current namespace with 'from' seems to work, but accessing members of
the imported module only works if the imported name is qualified by
the containing module name.
For example:
from mechanoid import _mechanoid_Comm on
from _mechanoid_Comm on import Common Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named _mechanoid_Comm on from mechanoid._mech anoid_Common import Common **succeeds** _mechanoid_Comm on
<module 'mechanoid._mec hanoid_Common' from
'mechanoid\_mec hanoid_Common.p yc'>
Is this a bug or a feature? The language reference section 2.3.2
'Reserved classes of identifiers' indicates that identifiers starting
with a single underscore are not imported by "from module import *".
However I can't find any indication that "from module import _name"
should work this way.
Thanks
Tom
