I should point out that this is much more like Python's semantics for "import *" than Dan's overlapping-namespaces idea -- "import" really means "copy these bindings into my current module". In particular, after doing "from foo import *", subsequent additions or removals of names to foo will not be reflected in the bindings of the module importing them. Allen
