Hacker News Reader

The comments seem to address his concerns, but I just had to call this out:

"As you don't see this hardly anywhere in Python because Pythonistas feel that namespaces are a bad idea..."

From The Zen of Python: "Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!"

I'm working from a link I was given when I started asking how namespaces/modules worked and why they weren't working for me. The answer I got was "first, you're probably doing it wrong if you need namespaces, and here's why <url>. second, here's the answer to your problem."

I'm trying to locate the article and I'll include it once I've found it. That's what I based my comment on.

And the link for those who haven't already seen this: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/
