Usually, the sys.path.append will allow Python to search the subfolders too, but I have noticed that sometimes it doesn't if you use UNC paths. I don't use jython, so maybe there's another way to fix this that is more specific to that implementation of Python? Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
