Thanks very much for your helpful response! > You'll see that b is executed (making module __main__), > (1) it imports pkg.subpkg.a, > (2) which is accomplished by importing pkg (successfully), > (3) then by importing pkg.subpkg > (4) which imports pkg.subpkg.a (successfully) > (5) and then imports pkg.subpkg.b > (6) which then attempts to import pkg.subpkg.a
What I'm not really understanding here is why this fails at lines (5) and (6). If pkg.subpkg.a has already been successfully imported at line (4), then (6) should be detected as a duplicate import and just be skipped, right? So the import at line (5) should succeed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
