Issue1349

when having a file "foo/bar/a.py" in the jython path defining a class A
then an access to 

foo.bar.a.A()

leads to an 

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'a'

even when

from foo.bar import a
a.A()

works. Furthermore

from foo.bar.a import A

doesn't work as well.

This behavior has been found with the Rc2 of jython 2.5 binary.

Please find a sample CPython 2.5.1 session below:

C:\>python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

>>> foo.bar.a.A()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
>>> from foo.bar.a import A
>>> foo.bar.a.A()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
>>> import foo
>>> import foo.bar
>>> import foo.bar.a
>>> foo.bar.a.A()
A was created
<foo.bar.a.A instance at 0x01A4E0D0>
>>>

And now the same statements in Jython 2.5 rc2:


C:\stuff\jython\jython-2.5rc2>jython
Jython 2.5rc2 (Release_2_5rc2:6341, May 11 2009, 17:07:28)

>>> foo.bar.a.A()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
>>> from foo.bar.a import A
>>> foo.bar.a.A()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
>>> import foo
>>> import foo.bar
>>> import foo.bar.a
>>> foo.bar.a.A()
A was created
<foo.bar.a.A instance at 0x1>
>>>

IMHO the behaviour is absolutely consistent.

Please let us know if you can find a difference all the same.
Thanks !
