Do the modules import stuff that's staying imported? That could majorly affect performance. What about .pyc files? I don't know if you can truly reset the interpreter. Snapshotting sys.modules and reinstating it afterwards would help, but there are other concerns too. I would personally just restart the interpreter each time, frankly; it's the easiest way to be sure. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
