Well, If I understand the docs correctly, that would work great if backends/ was a module and not a package? I need to keep backends/ system1/ and backends/system2 as separate directory structures to make things fairly isolated from each other (for neatness sake) Currently I'm building the backends/__init__.py __all__ list dynamically, such as: backends/__init__.py -------------------- import os __all__ = [] for module in os.listdir(__path__[0]): if not module.startswith("__"): __all__.append(module) then from my main application, I can do the following main.py ------- import backends print backends.__all__ This gives me ['system1','system2'] - which I can then use __import__ on. -- brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
