<p><strong><a href="http://www.cmlenz.net/archives/2009/12/namespaces">Namespaces</a></strong></p> Python’s approach to imports is possibly my favourite feature of the language. I love being able to scan up to the top of a file in my text editor and see exactly where every symbol comes from, no IDE required. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/christopher-lenz">christopher-lenz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/ide">ide</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/import">import</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/namespaces">namespaces</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a></p>

<blockquote cite="http://www.cmlenz.net/archives/2008/12/py3k"><p>I don't think that Python 3.0 is a bad thing. But that it's displayed so prominently on the Python web site, without any kind of warning that it's not going to work with 99% of the Python code out there, scares the hell out of me. People are going to download and install 3.0 by default, and nothing's going to work. They're going to complain, and many are going to simply walk away.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://www.cmlenz.net/archives/2008/12/py3k">Christopher Lenz</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/christopher-lenz">christopher-lenz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python3">python3</a></p>
