Issue 909226: Can Not import a module with - (DASH) in filename (original) (raw)

I am currently running, Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct 2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.

I have a file that I am attempting to import "report- manager.py", that refuses to be imported.

C:\develope\versions>python Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct 2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import report-manager File "", line 1 import report-manager ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax import "report-manager" File "", line 1 import "report-manager"

If this is not a bug, and is indeed expected behavior, is this documented in any manner? I have not found any references covering this.
