[SOLVED] Python Imported functions

[kjohansen]

I did:


import scipy.stats
a=[2,3,5,2,3,2,3]
scipy.stats.mean(a)


Is there a way to not have to use the full path for the mean function?

That is can I import scipy.stats and then just do:

mean(a)

[imdano]

Yep from scipy.stats import mean

[kjohansen]

what if I want all the functions within the scipy.stats package to be available like that, is that possible?

[kjohansen]

nevermind.

from scipy.stats import *

[OutOfReach]

from MODULE_NAME import *

import * is dangerous practice: you may import name clashing with your own name, and strange things might happen. Much safer to import name by name (you can list them, separated by comma), to see exactly what is coning from where. Easier to debug later, too.
