3.21.1 in the lib manual sez: "A more complete example that implements hierarchical module names and includes a reload() function can be found in the standard module knee (which is intended as an example only -- don't rely on any part of it being a standard interface)." ...but knee is not in the module list, though it appears to be in the distribution.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Like it says, the knee module is supposed to be an example only. I don't think it should be included in the library at all; it should be somewhere in Demo/. I think Guido has resisted moving it before, but I don't recall clearly. I'll assign this to Tim since Guido's not available now.

Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Sorry, I can't channel Guido here -- AFAICT, this is the first time I ever heard about knee! Reassigned to Guido.

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 knee.py itself is mostly intended as documentation -- it's working code that demonstrates how the import process works! It's fine if it gets moved to the Demo directory.

Logged In: YES user_id=52572 Moving it without changing the docs isn't much good. Is someone changing the docs?
