Personally, I don't like this at all for the following reasons: 1. This introduces two _.. names instead of one. 2. This departs from established convention that C (or native) implementation for modulename is in _modulename, not _cmodulename. Non-C implementations may still provide native _modulename, but would not want to call it _cmodulename. 3. Hiding python code in _pymodule makes it harder to find it. .. > Why not import the two modules directly ? > > import _cmodule as module > and > import _pymodule as module > Because this requires having two modules in the first place. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7989> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
