[Tutor] Help with packages and namespaces please

[Andrew Wu]

After a more careful perusing and sifting of your response, I discovered
this helped my understanding a lot better:

> This imports the name read_wav into the Formats package namespace so

>    from Sound.Formats import read_wav



This above seems to be closest to what I'm hoping to achieve ... I will try
this out and see how it goes.  Thanks again!
