[Pyobjc-dev] python extension namespace clash in jaguar python?

[Bob I. <bo...@re...>]

Using the stock python from OS X 10.2, is there a way around the issue 
where two python extensions with the same name (but in different 
packages) will cause a clash?  I know this has been resolved in later 
builds of python, but it would be nice to be able to get around this 
without distributing a custom build.

In my particular example, I was seeing how possible it is to port 
pygame to the stock python using methods similar to what the pyobjc 
team has done...  pygame has a module called time, which clashes with 
python's time.  If I import pygame.time, and then import time, both of 
them are actually pygame.time, and vice versa if I do it in reverse 
order.  I know I could rename pygame.time (and change inittime) to 
something else, but that doesn't seem like a very good solution.  Are 
there any alternatives?
