if what you mean by 'importer' is the one that really cause py to load the mod, then why not dynamically set it? foo.py ------ import bar, sys if '_importer' not in bar.__dict__: bar._importer = sys.modules[__name__] bar.py ------ def show_importer(): return _importer or you could borrow space from builtins. i don't know if it breaks any rule ;) foo.py ------ def set_importer(mod): bdict = (__builtins__.__dict__ if __name__ == '__main__' else __builtins__) if '_importer' not in bdict: bdict['_importer'] = {mod : sys.modules[__name__]} else: if mod not in bdict: bdict['_importer'][mod] = sys.modules[__name__] import bar set_importer(bar) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
