Never mind about conflicts and order of importing... just try figuring out code like this: from os import * from sys import * from math import * # Calculate the total size of all files in a directory tot = 0 for path, dirs, files in walk(argv[1]): # We don't need to sum the directories separately for f in files: # getsizeof() returns a value in bytes tot += getsizeof(f)/1024.0/1024.0 print("Total directory size:", floor(tot), "MB") Now, I'm sure some of the experienced Python programmers here can see exactly what's wrong. But can everyone? I doubt it. Even if you run it, I doubt you'd get any better clue. But if you could see which module everything was imported from, it'd be pretty obvious.
