Let Python do its thing. When a module is imported (which is what mm_cfg.py is and what happens to it in Mailman), and Python finds a .pyc file with a modified date older than that of the .py file, the .pyc is remade. It's not supposed to be possible to import a stale .pyc file. BUT...I suspect that with a little help from the touch command, one could confuse things. (Modify the .py file, then set its modified date back using touch. Don't do this for mission critical code.) --John -- John Baxter [EMAIL PROTECTED] Port Ludlow, WA, USA ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
