Thank you for reply! I make a mistake in my problem description, because I'm going not only use my own functions (it'll be simple import library question), but also using side library many functions (with only a few one replaced by me). For now I'm stay at the following solution: ----- mylib.py ----- import sidelib from sidelib import * _sidelib_set = set(dir(sidelib)) _mylib_set = set(['replacedfunc1', 'replacedfunc2', ....]) # all exports __all__ = list(_sidelib_set.union(_mylib_set)) ....implementations of _mylib_set functions.... -------------------- Seems it's pretty good for my task, mylib seems fully the same as the sidelib one. Thanks for you attention, anyway! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
