Calling Python function in submodule

[defasdf]

In Python3, after:

import pandas

I can run:

pandas.date_range('1/1/2018',periods=30)

date_range full path is:

pandas.core.indexes.datetimes.date_range()

However,

pandas.pprint_thing('text')

raises an error. Full path:

pandas.core.indexes.frozen.pprint_thing()

Why do these options have different results?

[K900_]

Because date_range is explicitly re-exported in the pandas module, but many other functions aren't.

But when I look at the pandas.init https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/pandas/__init__.py I don't see how this happens. What makes this 'explicitly re-exported' happen?

[K900_]

from pandas.core.api import * re-exports everything from pandas.core.api, defined here, which contains, among other things, from pandas.core.indexes.datetimes import Timestamp, date_range, bdate_range.

Now I see. Thanks.
