I have a question on packages. Suppose I have a package P with modules A.py, B.py, and C.py. Suppose that C.py defines a class X. Assume that the package __init__.py file contains the statement "from C import X".
If I write an external Python program H.py, then I can refer to the class X by doing: import P myX = P.X() My question is that I would like to use the same method for consistentcy sake for the modules A and B in the package. That is, if A needs to use the class X from C, I would like to do the following in the file A.py: import P aX = P.X() I tried this and it works. But, is there a problem with recursion here since C might refer to A, or B might refer to A and C refer to B? Is this even a good idea? Is there another way to achieve the consistency whether referring to class X from an external Python program or referring to class X from a sibling Python program in the package? Of course, the normal way to refer to class X in program A.py is to do the following: from C import X aX = X() Bill Hale -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
