Question

I have the following code:

import m

def f(m=None):
    if m is None:
        k = m.M() # I want this m to refer to the imported module, not the parameter

I would really prefer to keep both the parameter name and the module name the same. Is there a way explicitly to refer to the module m?

Answer 1

If you don’t mind changing the module’s name only within the importing module, you could do:

import m as m_

def f(m=None):
    if m is None:
        k = m_.M()
