I don't use packages, but when I read the tutorial first time, I wondered why, if the packages appeared to solve a 'pack into a directory' problem, the names were joined with '.' instead of '/'. Later I found some other uses to the 'unix path' notation. For example: - Module inside a package: import package/module - Relative import: import ../../otherpack/webmodules/somemodule

Haven't seen any support for this; in the absence of support, I'll have to assume that it's a non-starter.

A: No. Q: Is top-posting okay?
