I think I'm still missing something in how python is handling packages and it's mixing me up. I have a package with three files (modules?) like so:
OPS:\ __init__.py model.py search.py To hide more details of the package structure, I import model and search inside of __init__. It also seemed like a good idea to define a global function that creates a database connection and I added it to __init__.py. Thus, I have: from model import * from search import * def create_connection(): # details are unimportant for this example When I try to use the create_connection function in model, I get errors when I use it as a global function ( just create_connection()). The only way to resolve the error was to import OPS inside of model and use OPS.create_connection(). This doesn't seem natural. If model is part of OPS, why do I need to tell python to import OPS and use this function from OPS? I can see doing that from the outside world, but inside? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
