Newbie: import

2007-04-18 Thread genkuro 
I thought import used relative paths from either the python executable
or the script being executed.  I have a script pulling in code from an
arbitrary directory.  How is this happening?

It's a RHEL 4 environment by the way.  I couldn't find any relevant
environment variables.

Thanks from a newbie for any insight.

logging = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Newbie here.  I may be missing something obvious, in which case,
please feel free to berate and laugh at me.

Here's a dubious line of code:
logging = logging.getLogger(__name__)

How can I refer to the original logging package "logging" after this
statement is run?  Specifically, I'm trying to add a log handler with
logging.addHandler(x) and it is of course failing.

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Mark -

I thought that would be the answer.

I asked because I'm working with a framework where logging is
similarly renamed in almost every file.  The framework is under
development so refactoring is an option.

I'm coming to Python from Java.  I'm still getting a feel for scoping
limits.  For the sake of curiosity, is there another way to refer to a
package besides name?

Thanks,
Brian
