No, that won't do, because for it to have the desired effort, it needs to be inside the IntermediateModule, not the Test_Module. That means that IntermediateModule needs to know if it is running in "test mode" or "real mode", and that's (1) possibly impractical, and (2) not great design. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
