A further confusion (if I may): I have noticed that using from xxx import * can lead to problems when trying to access variables in the xxx module. E.g. -- File f2.py imvar=1 def prn(): print imvar -- File junk.py from f2 import * prn() imvar=2 prn() -- Running junk.py gives the output: 1 1 Not what I would expect which is, 1 2 Namespaces get confusing. I have begun to switch to using 'import f2 as' which gives the 2nd expected result. Safer, but still a bit puzzling. -- Lou Pecora (my views are my own) REMOVE THIS to email me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
