Unfortunately, it's somewhat common for example code in various places to show the above usage (where somebody did a "from <whatever> import *). IIRC there used to be examples like that even in the official docs, but I haven't seen any there in a while. But examples that look like that are still pretty easy to stumble across using Google. I'm guessing he copied the code from a "tutorial" example like this: http://www.evolt.org/node/60276 -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! hubub, hubub, HUBUB, at hubub, hubub, hubub, HUBUB, gmail.com hubub, hubub, hubub. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
