[Visualpython-users] problems with multiple (nested) imported modules

[Dr P H B. <P.H...@bh...>]

I hit a frustrating bug which took some time to identify
When I tried to run a module containing
from visual.controls import *
it seized up with the usual message: There's an error in your program:
invalid syntax.

The place where the error purported could be in the middle of a remark.
Further investigation suggested that the purported error was a fixed
distance into the program!

Yet further investigation showed that the problem was caused by having
imported another module, which itself imported visual. That module needed
only to import 'math'. Making this change appears to have cured problem
