Nick Coghlan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Running the interactive interpreter like that places the current directory on sys.path, so it *is* doing an absolute import of your pseudo email package. (If it didn't do that, your test would fail at the "import foo" line)
Instead of cd'ing into test the way you did, invoke the interpreter from the next directory up and do an import of 'test.foo', and you should see the absolute imports in the foo module having the desired effect. (I expect the reason you didn't run into this for the os module is because the os module is bootstrapped quite early in Python's startup process, so you'd have to try really hard to get it to see something other than the builtin standard library version of os) ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2410> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
