"imp" sounds like overkill for that purpose; the usual way is do do that is to explicitly call __import__: xyzzy = __import__("xyzzy") > But is there any way to programmatically mimic the "from xyzzy import > *" statment? you can use getattr() to pick out the objects your need. or you could do something like: globals().update(vars(__import__("xyzzy"))) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
