[Jython-dev] python 2.1: from _ import _

[Samuele P. <pe...@in...>]

Hi.

The python 2.1 features (quoted from its NEWS):

- Two changes to from...import:

1) "from M import X" now works even if M is not a real module; it's
   basically a getattr() operation with AttributeError exceptions
   changed into ImportError.

2) "from M import *" now looks for M.__all__ to decide which names to
   import; if M.__all__ doesn't exist, it uses M.__dict__.keys() but
   filters out names starting with '_' as before.  Whether or not
   __all__ exists, there's no restriction on the type of M.

are already there in jython.

I will check if there is a regression test for that in any case, in
order to check for "details".

PS: in jython there is a more general old jpython bug related to __all__ (for
packages too), I will fix it as soon as possible.
