I didn't recognize the pattern in the code you posted, but sometimes the order of imports matters: $ find . . ./package ./package/beta.py ./package/alpha.py ./package/__init__.py $ python Python 2.3.3 (#1, Feb 5 2005, 16:22:10) [GCC 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from package.beta import * >>> from package import * >>> from package.alpha import * >>> alpha Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'alpha' is not defined >>> beta <module 'package.beta' from 'package/beta.py'> The 'right' way to do the imports if you want both 'alpha' and 'beta' is of course from package import alpha from package import beta Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
