Re: [Python-ideas] from foo import bar.baz

+1 Indeed, I would have expected that "from foo import bar.baz" would work. On 05/26/2012 12:54 AM, Devin Jeanpierre wrote:

Has it irritated anyone else that this syntax is invalid? I've wanted it a couple of times, to be equivalent to:

import foo.bar.baz from foo import bar del foo # but only if we didn't import foo already before"

The idea being that one wants access to foo.bar.baz under the name bar.baz , for readability purposes or what have you.

I played around with adding this, but I seem to have really bad luck with extending CPython...
