One big caveat: If you are mixing both import mypackage.somemodule and import dependentpackage.somemodule in the same application, mypackage.somemodule and dependentpackage.somemodule are *not* the same module instance. This may have surprising effects when global variables in somemodule.py are updated... Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
