It does help thanks. Okay now after reading your post I really need to do some experimenting. I was under the impression when I wrote my last post that changing an attribute in one modules instance in __init__.py would not effect other modules. Sorry, I'm relatively new to python, and things like this are still sometimes "gotchas!" for me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
