That's probably true. I was wondering recently whether there should be some way to specify which version of a module you want when you import it, e.g. import fooble[3] which means you want a fooble with API version 3 or something compatible with it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
