I guess it is probably quite tricky to implement. Note the list of files with the "No module named" message I posted earlier. Somehow you'd have to keep track of all potential directories in all these different contexts. I think a combination of pointing to the documentation and mentioning -Wd would cover all situations. Most people just need a reminder. That's easy to achieve with a new ImportErrorNoModule(name) exception. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
