Hi Mark -

I thought that would be the answer.

I asked because I'm working with a framework where logging is
similarly renamed in almost every file.  The framework is under
development so refactoring is an option.

I'm coming to Python from Java.  I'm still getting a feel for scoping
limits.  For the sake of curiosity, is there another way to refer to a
package besides name?

Thanks,
Brian
