See Subject. The code is below with a few changes I made at the bottom by
inserting
   import string
   import numpy

   module = raw_input("Enter module name: ")
   listing(module)

As the error says, strings have no __name__ attribute; from this, one
can infer that listing() expects a module object, not a string which
is the name of a module.

Try instead:
    module = __import__(raw_input("Enter module name: "))
    listing(module)

Cheers,

I thought I'd see if I could convert this to a program instead, which asks
the user for the module.

 File "C:/Sandia_Meteors/Sentinel_Development/Learn_Python/mydir_pgm.py",
line 31, in <module>
   listing(module)
 File "C:/Sandia_Meteors/Sentinel_Development/Learn_Python/mydir_pgm.py",
line 8, in listing
   print "name:", module.__name__, "file:", module.__file__
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '__name__
Very cool. Thanks to both of you.
