Okay, you may want a more elegant way to do this and other people have already responded to that point, but you do at least know you can just give it a new name: import _bright bright = _bright right? You can attach a new name to any Python object trivially (this is akin to a pointer assignment in C, it does not copy any significant amount of data). -- Terry Hancock ( hancock at anansispaceworks.com ) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
