Yes. And FWIW, you can drop the quotes around the word 'object', because Python's modules *are* objects: Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35) [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.__class__ <type 'module'> >>> HTH -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
