Looked promising, until I saw that it requires you to pass explicitly the dependent functions and the modules to be imported for the callable to work. I guess this has to be done recursively for all the dependent functions/modules, which is impractical for anything but toy examples. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
