because running a script isn't the same thing as importing it. try adding "print __name__" lines before your other print statements so you can see who's printing what. > Is there more than one global space? in this case, there are more module namespaces than you think. this page might help (especially the "Using Modules as Scripts" section): http://effbot.org/zone/import-confusion.htm </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
