Hi,
I am a beginner using the python interpreter. To reduce typing effort, I created a module called "aliases.py" containing some aliases for objects I commonly use like -
aliases.py :
import filecmp, os, commands
op = os.path
<snip>
By the way, are you aware of the import ... as ... idiom? e.g. import os.path as op
This would, of course, require the user to qualify the names by prefixing them with "op.".
What the OP listed above requires that too.
I believe the OP was suggesting
from aliases import *
which specifically loads the names in the module (or those specified in module.__all__) into the importing namespace for use without qualification.
