The question is how can I tell
Umm, from the sample code (for file2.py) that you provided, I don't see myBaseClass. You've only declared it to be global in file2.py, but it does not exist -- does not exist in the sense that it has no type associated with it, which in turn means meaning you cannot apply methods to it. > file2.py that the global variable is in file1 (without doing a silly > file1.myBaseClass.... > > Since I am invoking file2 from file1, I would have thought that global > variables in file1 exists automatically....(too much C thinking, I know) > > > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- Premshree Pillai http://www.livejournal.com/~premshree -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
