[Python-Dev] Making submodules available when importing top one (original) (raw)

(all this using Python 3.4.0a3+)

In the stdlib, I see that (as an example):

import os os.path.abspath <function abspath at 0xb7123734> os.path <module 'posixpath' from '/.../python/trunk/Lib/posixpath.py'>

However, for other (newer) modules:

import urllib urllib.requests.urlopen Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'requests' import concurrent concurrent.futures Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'futures'

So, is there a reason to not expose the submodules in the top module? This should be fixed?

Thanks!
