I got it now! Oh, this is funny.
I've got a directory where I keep all sorts of little snippets of python
code for testing. When I start up python in that directory, I get the
error I reported. It turns out, I've got a file called "string.py" in it,
with the contents:
----------------------------
Roy-Smiths-Computer:play$ cat string.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
class myString (str):
def __init__ (self, value):
self.value = value
def plural (self):
if self.value[-1] in "sz":
return self.value + "es";
else:
return self.value + "s";
foo = myString("foo")
bar = myString("bar")
baz = myString("baz")
print foo.plural(), bar.plural(), baz.plural()
print foo.capitalize()
----------------------------
something in the help system must be doing an "import string".
