After looking into it some, I agree it's probably not worth the effort. Pythons pickle, shelve, and marshal functions don't work on most module objects, so it's pretty much a dead end. It would need be doable in a simple and general way to be worth while. Thanks anyways, Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
