If using mod_python, you should use mod_python's own dynamic module importer. See the documentation for mod_python.apache.import_module() in: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-apmeth.html There is no need to use __import__ directly. By using mod_python's way of doing things you can benefit from automatic module reloading provided certain constraints met. Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
