Hi,
If I want to use the 'os.path' module, it's enought to import 'os':
import os
if os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/bash'):
print 'got it'
In other source codes I noticed that people write 'import os.path' in
this case. Which is better practice?
"import os.path" is better practice. There is no guarantee in general
that the os module will automatically import os.path, and in future
versions or different implementations it might not.
That's probably a matter of opinion - eg,
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/interpreter.html has an example of
importing the os module then accessing os.path.
Personally I think directly importing os.path is a waste of precious
keystrokes ;)
Cheers,
Mark.
