[Zope] Another import doesn't find the module

[Stacy Roberts Ladnier]

First, I realized I did not need profile.py so I removed that line of 
code. What you say about not importing directories makes sense. However 
the following doesn't:

My Structure has the following
   -FGDC (directory)
       - __init__.py
       - profile.py
       - DISTRIB.py

The line I had that read 
   from Products.Resources.FGDC import profile 
failed as you said it should. 

However, this line works like a charm:
   from Products.Resources.FGDC import DISTRIB

BTW, I always interpreted this to mean
    from <directory> import <module>

Can you explain the *why's* on this one?? Even though I can move 
forward with my coding, my mind is still stuck on why this is?

Thanks,
Stacy
