importing module conflict

[Matias Surdi]

Hi,

Suppose I've a module named "urllib" and from it I need to import the
urllib module from the python standart library.

¿how can I do this?

The problem I found is that when I do:


import urrlib

The imported module is itself, and not the one from the stdlib.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Yes : don't name your module 'urllib' !-)

Else, you can play with sys.path before importing the std urllib, etc,
etc...

What you want is the "absolute import" behaviour, described in PEP 328
<URL:http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0328.html> and implemented in
Python 2.5 <URL:http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/pep-328.html>.
