The __all__ that was added to urllib recently causes me quite a lot of grief (This is "me the application programmer", not "me the macpython maintainer"). I have a module that extends urllib, and whereas what used to work was a simple "from urllib import *" plus a few override functions, but with this __all__ stuff that doesn't work anymore. I started fixing up __all__, but then I realised that this is probably not the right solution. "from xxx import *" can really be used for two completely distinct cases. One is as a convenience, where the user doesn't want to prefix all references with xxx. but the other distinct case is in a module that is an extension of another module. In this second case you would really want to bypass this whole __all__ mechanism. I think that the latter is a valid use case for import *, and that there should be some way to get this behaviour. -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | ++++ see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/ ++++
