Hi there,
I'm trying to understand how module imports work, and am seeing some
behavior I don't understand:
>>> import django
>>> from django import forms
>>> from forms import DecimalField
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named forms
>>> import django.contrib
>>> from django.contrib import auth
>>> from auth import ImproperlyConfigured
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named auth
So what I'm seeing is that you can import X, then from X import Y, but
only if Y is another module and not an object. The import chains above
work until I try to import a class definition. Can someone explain
what it is about module imports that makes it work this way? And why
the unhelpful error message?
Thanks!
Eric
