I just run into a problem with the hamster‘s codebase where a module is loaded with one function and not the other. It’s not my code, so I don’t know many details, but I’d really like to learn how can such situation arise.

There is a module called hamster which includes i18n.py which has two functions: setup_i18n and C_. There is no __all__ defined in __init__. After loading the module C_ is visible, but the setup function isn’t.

Here’s the link for i18n file and the repo in general: http://git.gnome.org/browse/hamster-applet/tree/src/hamster/i18n.py?id=94b8ba72dad5b3e711d5f6b6a7018d83d770ce14

The session is only this (after setting the correct sys.path to include the packages)

> from hamster import i18n
> dir(i18n)
['C_', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'gettext']

    You have an old version of the file in your system path. Notice that the most recent change to that file in the repo is to add the setup_i18n function. It’s also possible you have an old .pyc file that for some reason isn’t being compared properly to the .py file.
