Is it possible to unload a module after I've imported it.
I have the main program from which I import several smaller programs.
Some of these uses timeoutsocket module.
But one of the smaller program can not work with the timeoutsocket
module, so I must
unload the timeoutsocket module, execute the program and then reload
timeoutsocket module.
So, s it possible to unload a module after I've imported it..
Thanks

Have you tried a del?
>import socket dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', 'socket']
>del socket dir()
['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__']
See you!

pyimport socket
pydel socket
pyimport sys
pysys.modules['socket']
<module 'socket' from 'c:\apps\Python 25\lib\socket.p yc'>
del only removes the reference from the current namespace, but the module
is still loaded and available.
del sys.modules['socket'] would remove the module so the next import
statement will have to reload it.
Back to the original question, timeoutsocket replaces some objects in the
socket module with its own versions, just "unloading" timeoutsocket would
not be enough, the changes had to be reverted.
timeoutsocket is an old hack for Python 2.2 and earlier. Since 2.3 you can
achieve the same thing using socket.setdefau lttimeout() so unless you are
forced to use such ancient versions, it can be dropped.

True

False
Although as Gabriel says, this may not be the best approach for this
particular need.
A new import will do a full reload of the socket module.

I have a module whose behaviour needs to be configurable. The module
needs to decide, the first time it is imported, beteween alternative
interfaces it presents.
Currently, I set some environment variables which select the desired
behaviour, and the module inspects those variables to determine the
mode in which it should set itself up. I would prefer a pure Python
solution, rather than one which depends on external state.
Can you...

I know this must have been answered a hundred times, but I must be
searching on the wrong terminology.
Let's say I have a module foo.py that imports os.
I make another script called bar.py that imports foo.py and now I want
to use, say, os.walk in bar.py.
Which is faster or more correct or whatever: Do I import os at the top
of bar.py and use foo's functions?

Sorry if this is a completely newbie question ...
I was trying to get information about the logging.handlers module, so
I imported logging, and tried dir(logging.handlers), but got:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'handlers'
The only experience I have in modules is os and os.path ... if I do
the same thing, simply import os and then type dir(os.path), it
displays the contents as expected.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
