module confusion

Sorry if this is a completely newbie question ...

I was trying to get information about the logging.handler s module, so
I imported logging, and tried dir(logging.han dlers), 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.

So my question is ... why are they different? I mean, in terms of
designing these modules, how would you go about getting a sub-module
in your name space? And on the other side, how would you go about
getting it out?

Thanks!

How does C++ with RTTI fit into your picture, then?
I'm no C++ expert but I'd say the type is attached to the value too there.
Same is true for Java.

In the "empty classes as c structs?" thread, we've been talking in some detail about my proposed "generic objects" PEP. Based on a number of suggestions, I'm thinking more and more that instead of a single collections type, I should be proposing a new "namespaces" module instead. Some of my reasons: (1) Namespace is feeling less and less like a collection to me. Even though it's still intended as a data-only structure, the use cases...

I have created what I think may be a useful Python module, but I'd like to share it with the Python community to get feedback, i.e. if it's Pythonic. If it's considered useful by Pythonistas, I'll see about hosting it on Sourceforge or something like that. Is this a good forum for exposing modules to the public, or is there somewhere more-acceptable? Does this newsgroup find attachments acceptable? -- Jacob

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?

I'm having trouble understanding how namespaces work in modules. I want to execute a module within the interpreter and then have values that are calculated persist so that other modules that get executed can retrieve them. For example, consider the two simple modules below. The first method fails and I'm not sure exactly why. (Note: assume one instance of an interpreter. In my case a 3rd party software tool that starts an interpreter...
