Python has always worked this way. The problem is that if you're in a directory and it contains a directory foo (with a file __init__.py in it), and you type into a python session "import foo", then the code in the directory foo is imported, even if there happens to also be a foo in site-packages. The code in the local directory takes precedence. In the above example, there's no sage_object, since it's a Cython module, so the .so file doesn't exist in the sage directory (it's in the site-packages directory). -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
