Hi Fredrik, thank you very much for your articles (especially that on import-confusion). At last I grasped, also if not thorougly, the import mechanism. What cleared my doubts was your recursive import paragraph. In the Guido's "Python Reference Manual" he says: "Import statements are executed in two steps: (1) find a module , and initialize it if necessary..." ...almost like it was not necessary to go through it executing it (and initializing the classes if necessary). I made a small script to be sure and (...of course) confirmed what you said... I have still some doubts on the namespaces and functions/variables visibility, but for that there is the error mechanism... Bye.
