the beauty of Python is that you can "rename" everything . In the languages I've been using up to now, an integer is an integer and stays an integer forever (has it's beauty too).
The modules I write for myself, I always start with the "dangerous": form scipy import *
"Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!" As you found out the hard way, not using namespaces effectively leads to problems. The "dangerous" shouldn't be in quotation marks! Why not use import scipy as S Thereby you protect yourself from other modules overwriting your method and variables, without having to do much extra typing. Cheers Stéfan
