I'm new to python and I seem to get different behavior depending on... well who knows what. Here's my question concerning importation of packages/modules.
I want to use scipy. So at the prompt (using iPython, installed with Enthought edition on Windows XP) I type: ln [1]: from scipy import * Now, I know integrate is a package this is in scipy. I want to use the ode class/module that's in integrate. So I type: ln [2]: from integrate import * And I'm told ImportError: No module named integrate In order to get access to the ode class, I end up having to type: ln [3]: from scipy.integrate import * Then it works. Will someone explain to me what I'm misunderstanding? I don't understand why after importing everything in scipy (which includes integrate), I was told there was no module named integrate. What gives? I there are sevarl functions (modules) that I want to use that are a few levels down from the root package, what's the most economical method of importing them? Any clarification would be appreciated. trevis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
