Alan, Why not:
from scipy.stats import describe describe(series)
It's all in the way you specify the import Brandon Powered by CardScan -----Original Message----- From: scipy-user-bounces@scipy.org [mailto:scipy-user-bounces@scipy.org] On Behalf Of Alan G Isaac Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 11:01 AM To: SciPy Users List Subject: [SciPy-user] stats module accessibility Why not allow direct use of subpackages of scipy? That is, if I want to ``describe`` a series, why not allow:: scipy.stats.describe(myseries) instead of:: from scipy import stats stats.describe(myseries) or:: from scipy.stats import describe describe(myseries) I am sure this is a naive question about package structure, but I'd like to understand.
