This particular use case is easily handled. Put the following once at the top of the module... module = __import__(__name__) Then one can access (though perhaps not quickly) the module-level variables for that module. To access attributes, it is a quick scan through module.__dict__, dir(), or vars(). Want to make that automatic? Write an import hook that puts a reference to the module in the module itself on load/reload. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
