Hi all,
I'm a little confused by the following exception:
File "f:\src\python-cvs\xpcom\server\policy.py", line 18, in ?
from xpcom import xpcom_consts, _xpcom, client, nsError,
ServerException, COMException
exceptions.SyntaxError: BuildInterfaceInfo: exec or 'import *' makes names
ambiguous in nested scope (__init__.py, line 71)
This sounds alot like Tim's question on this a while ago, and from all
accounts this had been resolved
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/012456.html) In
that mail, Jeremy writes:

Percolator has "from x import *" code. This is what is causing the
exception. I think it has already been fixed in CVS though, so should
work again.
-- end quote --
However, Tim replied saying that it still didn't work for him. There was
never a followup saying "it does now".
In this case, the module being imported from does _not_ use "from module
import *" at all, but is a parent package. The only name referenced by the
__init__ function is "ServerException", and that is a simple class. The
only "import *" I can track is via the name "client", which is itself a
package and does the "import *" about 3 modules deep.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Mark.
