Something like this:
import sys sys.path.append("../..") #That's two directories up from the current directory import upper If you're unsure what the current working directory is, try: import os print os.getcwd() # The current working directory If it's not the current directory, but rather the directory containing the original script you want, then import sys, os path = sys.argv[0] #Initial script name path0 = os.path.split(path)[0] #Initial script path path1 = os.path.split(path0)[0] # Up one path2 = os.path.split(path1)[0] # Up two sys.append(path2) Gary Herron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
