This has been very educational, thank you for all the suggestions. Here is the resulting code: class Property: pass # example of a dummy class Plist = Property() # create a Plist object from the dummy class # accumulate dictionary attributes based on every plist file dataFolder=os.path.dirname(__file__)+'/Data/' plistFiles=glob.glob(dataFolder+'*.plist') for file in range(len(plistFiles)): name=plistFiles[file].replace(dataFolder,'').replace('.plist','') setattr(Plist, name, Dict(plistFiles[file]).Config) # load the Plist object with the dictionary This is a vast improvement over my previous system. Now I can call any plist item from anywhere on my website: Data.Plist.Site.Trace where "Site.plist" is the name of the Plist file. This is such an elegant system I'm surprised it is not implemented as part of Python. -- Gnarlie http://Gnarlodious.com/Gnarlodious -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
