The additional confusion lies in the fact that a module can be shadowed
by something which is not a module (a mere global variable). I find it
rather baffling.
I think we're stuck with that as long as we use the same
syntax for importing a submodule and importing a non-mo

"from x import y" means "import x; y = x.y".
It actually means slightly more that that if y is a submodule,
in which case it means "import x.y; y = x.y".

I recently encountered a very mysterious bug in which
a background thread would inexplicably hang while attempting
to make a connection using httplib.
Debugging as far as I could at the Python level led to
the surprising conclusion that it was hanging while
using the ascii codec to encode the hos

There's a patch there but it needs additional sophistication to remove
deadlocks when doing concurrent circular imports.

OK then. I don't have a *strong* opinion against it, just thought that most
people have one version of Python, maybe 2 versions as in 2.x and 3.x, so I
