What Are These Import/From Statements about?

[W. Watson]

Is there a single source that explains these statements?
------------------------------
from Tkinter import *
from Numeric import *
import Image
import ImageChops
import ImageTk
import time
import binascii
import tkMessageBox
import tkSimpleDialog

from tkFileDialog import asksaveasfilename
from tkFileDialog import askopenfilename

import MakeQTE

import socket
import struct
import glob
import bisect
import os, os.path
import datetime

from os.path import basename, splitext

While that's an interesting link, I was thinking of the named items like:
Numeric, (this one I know about.)
Image
ImageChops
ImageTk
time
binascii
tkMessageBox
tkSimpleDialog

...
For example, what is the Image module? MakeQTE? ospath?

tkSimpleDialog

The `image' ones are all part of PIL (Python Imaging Library) which is
a third party module (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/). The
others: time, binascii, os.path, tkMessageBox and tkSimpleDialog are
all part of the standard library
(http://docs.python.org/modindex.html). I don't see the documentation
for the tk* ones in the global module index, but you can always look
at the source. I'm not sure what MakeQTE is. If this is a program you
are able to run, you should be able to do something like this:

That will show you where it lives, and you can then look at the source
for more clues.

Also, you should be able to do this:

Which will also likely give you some good clues.

While that's an interesting link, I was thinking of the named items like:

Okay, sorry.

Numeric, (this one I know about.)
Image
ImageChops
ImageTk

The Image* modules are from PIL.

time
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html


http://docs.python.org/lib/module-binascii.html

tkMessageBox
tkSimpleDialog

These are also from the standard library. See your lib-tk/ directory.

For example, what is the Image module? MakeQTE?

MakeQTE is new to me. Google only brings up this thread.

ospath?

os.path. It's a sub-module of the standard os module.
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.path.html

socket, struct, glob, bisect, and datetime are standard library modules.

Thanks very much. Where's the global index?

os.path. It's a sub-module of the standard os module.

Actually, there are no such things as sub-modules (as you'll find out if you
try to define one). What it really is is a variable in that module, which
points to another module (e.g. posixpath).
