yep, you're right. i didn't see the exec. it will only work if the called function somehow had access to the same object references. the OP would have to put the assignments into showmodule.py in addition to show(), leaving only the calls to show() in foo.py. that *should* work. cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Python Web Development with Django", Addison Wesley, (c) 2009 http://withdjango.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
