True, but you can use the global statement to refer to the variable within a function and read from the variable there, without it being already initialised in the module. Of course, if you try to call that function before the global has been initialised, python will complain [and rightly so :)] Paddy -- "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say YES!" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
