I guess I could have just looked at the pkg_resources documentation. The specific functionality I'm talking about is the *ResourceManager API* which is documented here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#resourcemanager-api Pass it a relative package/module string and the file (ie .zcml file) you wanna load, and it just does it's thing. All it cares is that the relative package/module is importable and will take care of the rest, whether the file you want/need is in an egg or on the filesystem. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt ServerZen Software -- http://www.serverzen.com News About The Server (blog) -- http://www.serverzen.net
