This is different from "import blah": with the latter, you have to use "x = blah.SomeThing()". With the former, you can simply say "x = SomeThing()". So, if a has a class SomeThing, and you import it into d using "from a import *", in d you can use SomeThing's methods directly. If you then use "import d" in your main script, you can create a SomeThing instance with "x = d.SomeThing()". --- -Bill Hamilton -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
