Think of 'from x import y' as an assignment. Roughly equivalent to: y = sys.modules['x'].y (except of course you don't have to have imported sys, and it will load the module 'x' if it hasn't already been imported.) > b.py ---------------------- > > from a import foo In other words: foo = a.foo foo in module b is initialised from a.foo, but it is a separate variable. So when a.foo is rebound that doesn't affect b.foo. > def b(): print foo > > c.py ---------------------- > > import a > from b import b and here: b = b.b > > print 'per a.a() ',a.foo > a.a(245) > print 'expect 245 ', a.foo > b() > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
