The form of import you are using from helpers import mostRecent makes a *new* binding to the value in the module that's doing the import.

What you can do, is not make a separate binding, but reach into the helpers module to get the value there. Like this: import helpers print helpers.mostRecent
Gary, are you asserting that in these separate situations: one.py: from helpers import mostRecent x = mostRecent two.py: import helpers x = helpers.mostRecent ... the name "x" will be bound to different objects? Tx, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
