Well, a side-effect of this is that all package imports will suddenly spike the number of stat calls linearly to the number of entries on sys.path. Another option is to use a pth file that imports your module (as like _dbm_sqlite.py or something) and have it, as a side-effect of importing, set itself on dbm. -Brett _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
