Ugh... I wasn't thinking... Of course this won't work either for the same reasons above. changing configure.cfgfile from __init__.py will have no effect on the separate configure instances loaded in other modules. I still don't understand why python's __init__.py namespace isn't global to all modules in the package. Is this a feature, to prevent sloppy code? I think there are certain instances when it would make sense. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
