"import string" is effectively the same as doing: string = sys.modules['string'] "from string import *" is effectively the same as doing: ascii_letters=sys.modules['string'].ascii_letters ascii_lowercase=sys.modules['string'].ascii_lowercase ascii_uppercase=sys.modules['string'].ascii_uppercase atof=sys.modules['string'].atof atof_error=sys.modules['string'].atof_error atoi=sys.modules['string'].atoi atoi_error=sys.modules['string'].atoi_error atol=sys.modules['string'].atol atol_error=sys.modules['string'].atol_error capitalize=sys.modules['string'].capitalize capwords=sys.modules['string'].capwords center=sys.modules['string'].center count=sys.modules['string'].count digits=sys.modules['string'].digits expandtabs=sys.modules['string'].expandtabs find=sys.modules['string'].find hexdigits=sys.modules['string'].hexdigits index=sys.modules['string'].index index_error=sys.modules['string'].index_error join=sys.modules['string'].join joinfields=sys.modules['string'].joinfields letters=sys.modules['string'].letters ljust=sys.modules['string'].ljust lower=sys.modules['string'].lower lowercase=sys.modules['string'].lowercase lstrip=sys.modules['string'].lstrip maketrans=sys.modules['string'].maketrans octdigits=sys.modules['string'].octdigits printable=sys.modules['string'].printable punctuation=sys.modules['string'].punctuation replace=sys.modules['string'].replace rfind=sys.modules['string'].rfind rindex=sys.modules['string'].rindex rjust=sys.modules['string'].rjust rsplit=sys.modules['string'].rsplit rstrip=sys.modules['string'].rstrip split=sys.modules['string'].split splitfields=sys.modules['string'].splitfields strip=sys.modules['string'].strip swapcase=sys.modules['string'].swapcase Template=sys.modules['string'].Template translate=sys.modules['string'].translate upper=sys.modules['string'].upper uppercase=sys.modules['string'].uppercase whitespace=sys.modules['string'].whitespace zfill=sys.modules['string'].zfill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
