[Python-Dev] Re: symtable module & globals

When I run my program, which uses the symtable module, on Python 2.3, I
get:

-:0: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
-:0: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
-:0: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
-:0: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level

In a way this is not very surprising, since I call symtable with:

symtable.symtable(source, "foo", "exec")

This is a big problem for me, since I need to inspect symtables on a
module level. Would it be possible to make it possible for symtable to
operate in a module context? Or is it safe to ignore these warnings?
