Nonsense :-) Where there's a will, there's a way, and there are plenty of ways in Python, I'm sure. (Some of them quite ugly, no doubt, but I hear that anything related to Python imports is currently a bit ugly if you look closely enough.) How about name mangling + an import function implemented using module imp? > Of course, if anyone can get around them, it's PJE ;) Yes :-) John _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
