	Define "module" <G>

	from X import Y

makes the name of whatever Y is in X available directly at the level of the
import...

-=-=-=-	file example.py
import XYZ as Something

aCONSTANT = "who cares"

def aFunction():
	pass

class aClass(object):
	pass

-=-=-=-=-=-

import example

print example.aCONSTANT
print example.Something.unknown
print example.aFunction()
anObject = example.aClass()
anObject.undefined()

-=-=-=-
from example import Something
from example import aClass

	The odds are that PIL.Image is a class defined in PIL, and objects of
the class have an open method... But it could also be a submodule/package
within PIL that is imported...
