Question

I\'m using Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X.

I have two simple Python files (below), but when I run

python update_url.py

I get on

Answer 1

Importing the namespace is somewhat cleaner. Imagine you have two different modules you import, both of them with the same method/class. Some bad stuff might happen. I'd dare say it is usually good practice to use:

import module

over

from module import function/class

Answer 2

try

from sqlitedbx import SqliteDBzz

Answer 3

You need to do:

import sqlitedbx

def main():
    db = sqlitedbx.SqliteDBzz()
    db.connect()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Answer 4

That's How Python works. Try this :

from sqlitedbx import SqliteDBzz

Such that you can directly use the name without the enclosing module.Or just import the module and prepend 'sqlitedbx.' to your function,class etc
