Ok, I get it. I was locally importing a pointer to an integer which is really the same object as the module name points to, but the assignment changes that. The confusion for me centered around the fact that a local name can be used to change values in mutables that are visible from within the module. This however, does not include assignment to the local name. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
