OK thank you, with some help from the -v option and debugging I found a test package in some package. I now renamed it and load it with sys.path.append. And now the btest.py works. BUT does this mean I have to set the path too the package in every __init__.py class? Or have do I tell a subpackage that it is part of a big package ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
