Naturally. Name resolution works the same for help() as for anything else. If you say: import math then you need to refer to math.sin and math.cos, not sin or cos on their own. The same applies to your main.get_field, whether you are using help() or not. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
