Wrong. What it does is: import the package named foo and its submodule bar, and make it so you can access foo.bar via the name 'foo.bar'. That this has to put 'foo' in the local namespace is a side issue

I understand now. Sorry for my thickheadedness. Yes, when i look at it as "please give this to me as foo.bar", it makes much more sense.

Apologies, Guido. That's two brain-farts in a day or so. :(
