New submission from ganges master <gangesmas...@users.sourceforge.net>:
the relative-import mechanism is broken... at least on python2.6 but i'd guess on later versions as well. consider this package layout: /tmp/foo/ /tmp/foo/__init__.py /tmp/foo/bar.py where bar.py is: # note this is a relative import and should fail! from .os import walk print walk # and this should also fail from . import os print os running it yields a bug: $ PYTHONPATH="/tmp" python Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec 7 2009, 18:45:15) [GCC 4.4.1] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import foo.bar <function walk at 0xb7d2aa04> # <<<< ?!?!
