A module name is like any other symbol in Python. It must start with a letter (one of a hundred thousand or so), and have only letters or digits within it. Plus underscore, and maybe a couple more special characters. mv would be your best bet. But if you HAVE to have a strange name, try using the __import__() function. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
