if the file you want to include is not txt, but instead py, it should be easy. for example you have fs.py
you just ------------------------------------- fs=__import__("fs") f=[a for a in dir(fs) if a[0:2]!='__'] #no you have f1(),f2(),f3() as f[0],f[1],f[2] then excute desired function, for example f2(): exec("fs."+f[1]+"()") if you have top level variable in that file, just modify this to test typs.FunctionType(import types first) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
