you also have to make sure that your .py file is in one of the folders/directories listed in sys.path (to see it, import sys then do print sys.path). if the file is not in one of those folders, you will also get an import error. you can either add the correct directory to your PYTHONPATH environment variable, or manually add it at run-time using sys.path.append/insert. good luck! -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
