Hi,
just an import problem:
a program imports two modules, modA and modB, each module do not known anything
about the other module (i.e. no cross imports in them), both modules needs to
refer to some functions that are defined in the global namespace of the other
module. There is a possible solution? In other words, can the importing program
cover in some way the lack of cross imports between the modules?
Thank in advance for any help.

Can you be more specific? modA and modB don't import from each other
but both need to access objects in the global namespace of what
module? The controlling application? Or do you mean that, for
example, modA needs to access some functions in modB, but does not
have import statements to do so, and you want the controlling program
to do the imports for it? If that is the case, that is bad
programming practice in Python. Python is not C and you can't just
share header files :)
If you need to avoid recursive import conflicts, you can perform your
imports at the top of functions that use objects from another module.

IOW, you have a circular dependency between modA and modB.
There is a possible solution?
The obvious one : extract the relevant functions from modA and modB into
modC and import modC in both modA and modB.
If not applyable in your case, please provide more informations.

Exactly this.

Ok. I know that I want a python import to behave like a C include, it is so bad?
The motivation arise from a family of applications that import, among others,
two modules: a basic one and a specific one. The specific one is chosen from a
set of modules at import time depending on other imported modules, so the basic
module can known its external references against the specific module only at run
time.
One solution can be:
-the application imports the basic module,
-the basic module selects the proper specific module among the allowable
specific modules,
-the basic module imports the selected module with an __import__ call equivalent
to "import selected_module _X as select_module",
-Any reference to the specific module in the basic module is written in the form
"selected_modul e.object_name".
Any better solution?
Fabrizio.

PHP puts most of its functions into a big flat global namespace.
That leads to short function names - but creates a namespace
minefield for programmers.
Lots of the functions are legacies from the days before PHP
got object-oriented features.

I don't understand globals between multiple modules in a python program. I
really don't. I've narrowed it down to the following two very simple
programs a.py and b.py. When I run a.py I get the following output:

A: 2
inc: 3

Hi,
I am working on an application, which will run embedded without an OS.
The app is build up out of a couple of well defined parts. At first I
wanted to keep those parts seperated and use opaque data types to
transfer information in between them.
At some stage I was stuck and needed to make a variable global, and I
also needed to make the struct declaration public to some other parts.
Looking through the code I found out that lots...

Hello,
I have questions about global variables in OOP (in general) and Python
(in specific). I understand (I think) that global variables are
generally not a good idea. However, if there are variables that need to
be accessed by a number of classes that exists in separate namespaces
(files), what would be the best way to do this?
So far, I have approached the problem by making the variables
attributes of one class and passing...

Using global variables in Python often raises chaos. Other languages use
a clear prefix for globals.
* you forget to declare a global
* or you declare a global too much or in conflict
* you have a local identical variable name and want to save/load it
to/from the global with same name
* while you add code, the definition of globals moves more and more
apart from their use cases -> weirdness; programmers thinking is fragmented

Hi,
I'm currently learning C++ and I would like to ask you the difference
between Fortran 95 modules and C++ namespaces. To me they look the
same, except for the scope operator :: in C++, which is a bit more
convenient than F95 rename operator =>, to avoid name clashes. Thank

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