Hi, I am confused on this quite bad!! If I have this typed in interactive python:
>>import numpy >>def dummy(): y=numpy.arange(1,2,0.1) return y and then >>s = dummy() >>s >>array[1. , 1.1, 1.2........] it works. But if I have a module called example.py, whose code is def dummy(): y=numpy.arange(1,2,0.1) return y and now if I do the following: >>import numpy >>from example import * >>s=dummy() The above sequence does not work. It gives an error saying global variable numpy not defined. I understand that when I import a module it gets imported after getting compiled and therefore, the module should have a statement "import numpy" at its start. But what if I just want to use the function 'dummy'? I tried the following: from example import dummy and then try to use the function, it still gives me 'global name numpy not defined'! Why is that happening? Any pointers please. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
