I'm still completely confused. Does FunctionUser know what module the user functions are supposed to come from? Could you give an example of what you want the actual contents of those 3 modules to look like? E.g.: UserDefined1.py: import FunctionUser def foo(x): print x+3 FunctionUser.py: def do_something_with (module, funcname, *args, **kw): func = getattr(module, funcname) func (*args, **kw) main.py: import UserDefined1, FunctionUser # the following should print 10 FunctionUser.do_something_with(UserDefined1, 'foo', 7) I don't think the above is quite what you want, but is it somewhere close? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
