[Jython-users] Odd problems importing Jython module

[Wentworth, R. <RWe...@ve...>]

I am encountering some peculiar problems importing Jython modules.  In
particular, the following works (for a, b, c nested directories containing
__init__.py, and XYzebra a Jython module):
 
            import a.b.c.XYzebra
 
as does
 
            import a.b.c
            import a.b
            import a
            from a.b.c import XYzebra
 
However, the following does not work
 
            from a.b.c import XYzebra
 
nor does
 
            import a
            import a.b
            import a.b.c
            from a.b.c import XYzebra
 
There result in: "ImportError: cannot import name XYzebra"
 
(Of course, in the cases where the import nominally succeeds, XYzebra is
unable to import a Java class it needs.)
 
Operations like this were working before, as I recall.  Any clues as to what
sort of environment problems etc. could cause this sort of bizarre behavior?
 
(I'm running on Solaris and the problem occurs under both the 1.2 and 1.3
versions of the JRE.)
