Hello, all.

I am inspecting the JSON module of python 3.1, and am currently in /Lib/json/scanner.py. At the top of the file is the following line:

from _json import make_scanner as c_make_scanner

There are five .py files in the module's directory: __init__ (two leading and trailing underscores, it's formatting as bold), decoder, encoder, scanner and tool. There is no file called "json".

My question is: when doing the import, where exactly is "make_scanner" coming from?

Yes, I am very new to Python!
