Thanks to everybody for replying. (I apologize for the delayed response: my connection's been down for a week.)
Yes, I'm importing * for a reason, a good one, I think. I have a set of modules (the number planned to reach about 400) that would be dynamically loaded by my program as needed, and they're somewhat similar to each other. I wish each of them to import * from a certain "parent" module, so that they'll receive whatever functions and variables I want all of them to share (using the parent module's __all__), which may be overrided by the "child" modules at their discretion. Sort of like class inheritance, but I'm not doing that because implementing that would be a lot more tedious and less elegant. But if this doesn't seem to be documented, and unintended...is it a bug? If so, how do I file it? Thanks again! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
