In this particular case, when it is executed, it does a whole lot more. It reads in some parameters, establishes a socket connection, starts a thread, and starts monitoring the socket using select.select. It also exposes some functions that disguise the complexity of reading from and writing to the socket.
This is not, in general, a good idea, no matter how appealing! There is some subtle stuff going on within the chain of imports, and firing off a new thread is quite likely to confuse it in nasty ways later on. Less attractive though it may be, you're better off having a "startup" function or whatever and calling that: import Utils.client Utils.client.startup () TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
