Hi,

I've been very confused about why this doesn't work. I mean I don't see any
reason why this has been made not to work.

class Log:

def __init__(self, verbose, lock = None):

if verbose is True:
self.VERBOSE = True
else: self.VERBOSE = False


if lock is None or lock != 1:
self.DispLock = False
else:
self.DispLock = threading.Lock()
self.lock = True

if os.name == 'posix':
self.platform = 'posix'
self.color = get_colors()

elif os.name in ['nt', 'dos']:
self.platform = 'microsoft'

try:
import SomeModule
except ImportError:
self.Set_Flag = None

if self.Set_Flag is not None:
self.color = SomeModule.get_colors_windows()

else:
self.platform = None
self.color = None

When I create an object the "import" part never gets executed. Is there a
reason behind it ?
I mean I'd like to keep my class as independent as I want. So that when
later I need to use it somewhere else, I don't need to know if it depends
on any modules.

Currently, the way I'm left is to globally go and import the module and set
a flag there.
