Answer 1

The best way to import the ff function from the f module would be to use an import statement in your program:

from f import ff
ff(...)

Or you could use the form:

import f
f.ff(...)

EDIT:

If you are looking for tools to better read/navigate through the source code, I recommend creating a tags file for your source code tree (using either ctags or ptags.py).

You then point a capable editor (like Vim or Emacs) to that file, and use the editor's features to navigate your way through the code. For instance, using Vim, Ctrl-] jumps to the definition of the symbol under the cursor.

What editor are you using?

Answer 2

Whoever wrote the code for file a.py should have just written

a.py

from f import ff

I mean isn't that what OO and modules are supposed to do: make code reusable?

Or maybe this is an example of obfuscation by tiresomeness.

Answer 3

If you're not already using an IDE, you might like to give bpython a try
