You need to qualify all those names. Normal `import` doesn't dump all the importee's names into the importer's namespace; it only imports the name of the module itself. Thus: import socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_STREAM) I would recommend (re-)reading the relevant part of the tutorial: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html Cheers, Chris -- I would also recommend bypassing the EggHeadCafe junk and instead posting directly to the newsgroup/mailinglist. http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
