Ok, I have some rather odd behavior in one of my Projects and I'm hoping someone can tell me why. My file structure looks like this:
MainApp.py
res/
__init__.py
elements/
__init__.py
MainFrame.py
Inside of MainFrame.py I've defined a class named RPMWindow which extends wx.Frame.
In MainApp.py this works:
from res.elements.MainFrame import *
And this does not:
from res.elements.MainFrame import RPMWindow
I realize that the wild card import won't hurt anything, but I'm more interested in understanding why the named import is failing when the wild card succeeds.
