I *think* it's guaranteed. It's not a matter for the garbage collector. GC only exists to remove cyclic references. Ordinary reference counting *would* remove the module as soon as you de referenced it, but for the fact that Python stashes a reference to the module in (IIRC) sys.__modules__. And you mess with *that* at your peril. ;-) -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
