Dog help me, I agree with Roger Ebert. [edit to add: it's his domain, but not him. He passed in 2013. Someone's using his name after his death, which squicks me out.]
I have written and published books and stories that made not a damn bit of sense to anyone but me. I consider them vital parts of my work. Most of them get ignored.

Inside Biden's Phone Call
From inside sources...
President Biden demanded Netanyahu not attack the nuclear or oil facilities in Iran!
Biden stated the maneuver in Lebanon should be ended "as soon as possible" and Israel work for an agreement.
Netanyahu stood firm and replied that this is a historic opportunity that should not be missed.
The far-right Netanyahu didn't appear interested in peace.

#python does someone have a good resource on import.import_module ?
The behavior is a bit inconsistent between when you're using it locally or from a script that's installed as a CLI tool.
Stackoverflow had a partial answer involving
importlib.util.spec_from_file_location
Which works for the CLI tool except not for the tool getting script1 when script1 gets script2 from the same dir.
I'm on 3.10 maybe this was solved in newer versions?
@diazona thanks for offering!

"collection" contains a main that works.
The setup installs the same main from "module" as a CLI script, executing in "isolated" fails.
I managed to "solve" it in the main project. I looked at pytest's documentation and they mentioned adding the working dir to sys.path, so that's what I did.
I don't think it's an intuitive, good solution though and the manual didn't really explain why the 2nd case fails.
Ah, well: at first glance, I think what you may be missing is that when you run a script with `python file.py`, Python implicitly adds the current directory to the beginning of sys.path, but when you install a package and run a console script from that package, it does not add the current directory to sys.path. Running things from an installed package is independent of whatever happens to be in the current directory (unless you go to some trouble to change that, but don't do that).
In your case, when you use setup.py to install the package, the only thing that setup.py specifies as being part of that package is the module/ directory, so that's all that gets included in the package, and all that is available to import. If, in module.main, you were to try importlib.import_module("module.main"), it would work. But that's all you can import. There is no script_case1 or script_case2 or so on.

Brandon is coming up to Tampa now and the horizon is alive with either lightening flashes or the flashes of power lines going down. The roads are empty, the rain is almost horizontal
The roof of a Bank of America building has been torn off but sadly money is not flying out as in the Cartoons
Brandon is using his big ol' truck to push some debris off the road. I can see how you could make a video game out of this.
Most of the neighbourhoods now seem out of power, power flashes in the distance. Not a soul on the road.
"I will never watch it again. Once was more than enough. Honestly, Iβm not sure how I managed to finish it. It's probably the single most haunting show I've ever seen β so painful to watch that I decided, at the time, that it may be wrong of me to tell others to watch it."
[NYTimes]: A Meteorologistβs Ashes Took a Final Mission Into Hurricane Milton
Peter Dodge, who was involved in research as a NOAA Hurricane Hunter, died last year. On Tuesday, as a tribute to his lifeβs work, his ashes were deposited in the eye of the hurricane.

...EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE MILTON MAKES LANDFALL
NEAR SIESTA KEY FLORIDA....
...LIFE-THREATENING STORM SURGE, EXTREME WINDS, AND FLASH FLOODING
OCCURRING OVER THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...
NWS Doppler radar data indicate the eye of Hurricane Milton has made landfall near Siesta Key in Sarasota County along the west coast of Florida.
Live Milton coverage. The storm chaser featured came upon a giant metal container and just plowed it up and off the highway. He didnβt even identify the thing first. (Maybe he has an actual snow plow attached.) Storm chasers have brass ones. Wonder what they think of the false MAGA information stream that Trump and the fake hillbilly created.

That's WHY I publish the weird-ass crap.
#projectIDGAF is *hard* in that category.

Aw, crap! Thank you, will edit.
And yes, weirdness often fails. But when it succeeds, it does so gloriously.

The world is a great big comic book universe.
We're each the star of our own issues and series.
It's up to us to make our stories as interesting as possible, no matter how many readers we have.
And there's no way everyone can keep up on the entire expanded universe.

The point is, I don't write stories to resonate with you. I write them to resonate with me. If they happen to work for you, that's a happy accident!

Sorry, I'm thinking "Apocalypse Moi."

in reply to Michael W Lucas • • •Gonna follow up that with an example of a perfect film: a great discussion Carpenter's "The Thing," and why it bombed in the theater.
I always say it was because Reagan, and this piece says I'm... not wrong.

in reply to Michael W Lucas • • •I haven't watched this (but read the article). Young me didn't have the stomach for this, and current-me just hasn't gotten to it.
I wouldn't blame Reagan per se (he has a better film for Reagan anyway, more on that in a bit), but people were sick of the hopelessness of the 70s. Sure that's what Reagan offered (with all the other stuff that came with it), but even in a 2nd Carter term (which was closer than people think) this film would've caught serious flack by contemporaries.

in reply to Michael W Lucas • • •Have you read the original: "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell. (I tried to find a link to the Internet Archive, but the site is offline. I'm sure the magazine version will be there -- it'll be public domain now -- in case you'd never read it.) And I found this:
'In "Before the Golden Age", Isaac Asimov describes this as a rewrite of "The Brain Stealers of Mars". A much longer version was discovered in 2018 and published in 2019 as "Frozen Hell". '(That's from the isfdb.org site.)
