Quick clarification: even if you import a module, you still need to qualify a call to its attributes: ---- import sys print sys.version #not 'print version' ---- But you can use the 'from <module> import <attribute>' format to avoid this: ---- from sys import version print version ---- But this is very bad to do. The recommendation that I like is to only use from/import when you want a module from a package, not when you want classes, methods, etc. from a module. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
