I'm not arguing, you could very well be right, but I'm just curious what part of the OP's post led you to believe he needed to specify an absolute filename. Unless I'm missing a second post, he certainly never suggested that his scripts weren't in the Python path, or that he couldn't add their location to the path. *shrug* It probably isn't important -- given the constraints as you read them (extrapolated them?) your solution looks good. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
