Greetings all!
So I'm reading through the manual and I get to the point where it talks
about packages and how to import them. namely section 6.4 in the
tutorial. I wont repeat the section here, but I want to understand
whats going on in the following (as typed on my computer).
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.['MAXYEAR', 'MINYEAR', '__doc__', '__name__', '__package__', 'date',
'datetime',

__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__',

__ne__', '__new__', '__radd__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__',
'__repr__', '__rs
ub__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__sub__',
'__subclasshook__', 'a

'strftime', 's
trptime', 'time', 'timetuple', 'timetz', 'today', 'toordinal', 'tzinfo',
'tzname
', 'utcfromtimestamp', 'utcnow', 'utcoffset', 'utctimetuple', 'weekday',
'year']
Traceback (most recent call last):
so dir on datetime shows symbols date, time, datetime,etc
dir on datetime shows today, now, etc
lets say for arguments sake that I want to just import the today
function, according to the documentation, the line should be:
from datetime.datetime import today.
as you can see, that didn't work. why not?
