I find it difficult to imagine a sensible use case for a module wanting to know which other module/script imported it. Functions/ methods should *not* contain "logic" like "I'm being imported by the xyzzy script so I'll do something subtly different". Alternative behaviours should be invoked explicitly through args in the APIs, not through nasty manholes/trapdoors. BTW "imported by" is not 100% identical to "called from". Note: It's a frequent requirement to find the path to the originating script, in the case that some resource files are located in the same directory. Is that what you want? That path will be in sys.argv[0] Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
