Has Python 2.4.1 changed implementation for __init__.py???

[Werner Merkl]

Hallo,
I just downloaded http://www.python.org/pypi/xexpr/0.02, installed
if (python setup.py install) and tried the example in the README file.

Than I got following error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no
attribute 'Read'

This is same behavior for all module using empty __init__.pr files,
like venster, Pyrex or libxmlmods...

Is there a change in the implementation, so that every module needs an
explicit list for exchanged modules? Or is there a switch or an
environment variable to change?
Thanks a lot
Werner

if "xexpr" is a package with an empty __init__.py file, the behaviour you're
seeing is the expected behaviour. importing a toplevel module doesn't auto-
matically import any submodules.

what's an "exchanged module"?

does it work better if you type

import xexpr.Read

before you call the to_xexpr function?

Oh, I see. I have to write:
import xexpr.Read

Now it works...

Oops! This should say "every module"...

Thanx a lot
