After quick testing it looks like '__builtins__' must be in locals dictionary for your embed Python code to work, it may be a separate dictionary from globals though. >From what I know 'sys' module is related to builtins. My knowledge of Python internals is not so deep to explain the details of this relationship and answer your question about sys.path[0] though. -- Ivan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
