Module `sub_one` has two public names, "foo" and "bar", exactly as you say. So when you import * from it, you only get two names. Now, you could do any of these inside sample.py: # 1 from sub_one.foo import in_foo from sub_one.bar import in_bar # 2 from sub_one import * in_foo = foo.in_foo in_bar = bar.in_foo Or you could turn to sub_one.__init__ and do this: # 3 __all__ = ['in_foo', 'in_bar'] from foo import in_foo from bar import in_bar or any combination of the above. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
