Guido van Rossum added the comment: Are you sure you realize that "import email.charset" doesn't create a local variable named "email.charset"? It creates a local variable named "email" which happens to have an attribute "charset".
The problem with "import pack; print(pack.sub)" being unpredictable is explainable though annoying, but I don't think it can be avoided. After all there's no intrinsic reason why module "pack" couldn't have some attribute named "sub" unrelated to a submodule. I'm not sure what you mean by injections or cleaning them up. Perhaps there's some overzealousness here that causes this broken behavior? Is there somewhere in the IDLE code that you'd like me to look at? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27515> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
