Every once in awhile I run across a python module that might have statements like:
for c in sys.modules[module].__dict__.values(): or import __builtin__ __builtin__.__dict__['_'] = lambda x: x Snurf also does some strange import trickory (see http://bdash.net.nz/svn/snurf/trunk/snurf/dataStore/). While I'm sure none of this stuff is rocket science, but rather just "namespace manipulation" there is very little explanation in the python world that explains these techniques. I've googled around to try to find articles/papers that explain such techniques but cannot find any. Can anyone point out any refereces that discuss such module/import/namespace idioms. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
