(Sorry about sending this to the wrong list, scipy-user instead of scipy-dev, before; apologize to those who saw this twice) Hi all, I was reading through the link (http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/api.html#guidelines-for-importing-...) and it mentioned that the first form is preferred over the second one under most circumstances: # first form from scipy import stats stats.lomax(...) # second form from scipy.stats import distributions distributions.lomax(...) I honestly think the second form is far more frequently used in the examples given in the document, for example: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/special.html http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/integrate.html http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/optimize.html http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/interpolate.html http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/tutorial/fftpack.html Would you think it'd be better to update this link? -Shawn
