[Tutor] Danny's __std__ module

[tpc@csua.berkeley.edu]

hi Danny, I was curious: when you made this module did you intend for
it to be called only when you name a file after a standard module, or for
general everyday use ?  I ask because I am writing a script and when I
called your module in my script and then tried to run it I got:

[tpc@nike htdocs]# ./text2decimalascii.py hello world
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./text2decimalascii.py", line 2, in ?
    from __std__ import sys
ImportError: cannot import name sys

I then called your module on a program called random.py and it
works fine.  I guess I am trying to figure out when to use your module and
when not to.
