Rolf Campbell <thats.unpossi...@gmail.com> added the comment: OK, OK, I think I finally understand what you mean here. Let me try to repeat it just to make sure I really understand:
When requesting a member of a multi-file module (like "func" in my example), python only tries to load that member as a module from disk if there isn't something already created as part of __init__.py. In my case, I'm trying to load "func.func" which I specifically created in line#1 of func/__init__.py, so Python sees no need to even try to load the func/func.py file. If I comment-out the first line of func/__init__.py, then Python fails to find an item called "func.func" and so it tries to load one from disk which causes it to load "func/func.py". My real problem here was that I shouldn't be creating entries in the "func" namespace that clash with on-disk sub-modules that I want loaded. Thanks for your time and effort in explaining this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33547> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
