Thanks Kent. I tried it and it seem like importFunc is now something like 'import.__str__'. I could maybe do some string operations to just get import out of that, but is there something I could do with getattr() for that reference to come back the way I need. Thanks again. /alex _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
