Anyway, to make a long story short, we came up with an alternative implementation plan that actually solves some other problems besides the one that PEP 382 sets out to solve, and whose implementation a bit is easier to explain. (In fact, for users coming from various other languages, it hardly needs any explanation at all.)

I have a question.

If I have (on sys.path) a module "x.py" containing, say:

y = 5

and (also on sys.path), a directory "x" containing a "y.py" module.

What is "from x import y" supposed to do?

(currently, it would bind "y" to its value in x.py)

Regards

Antoine.
