No, that's not possible. What you could do instead is to create a singlton that you use to store the values in, instead of the module directly. Like this (untested): class ModuleState(object): # borg pattern - why not... _shared_state = {} def __init__(self): self.__dict__ = ModuleState._shared_state def __setattr__(self, name, value): setattr(self, name, "hello") state = ModuleState() Then you do state.test = 5 Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
