Yes. I would like to load a Windows Python Module (which is, say a specific implementation for Windows only) in such a condition where I find that the platform is Dos/NT. Loading it globally doesn't make sense because when from the same class an object is created on a non-windows platfom, it would be waste. It would either ImportError or else just load the module and never use it. As per my understanding __init__ is executed only once during object creation. For such situations (that I've explained above), I think __init__() is the correct place to put imports. Ritesh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
