I am guessing that what you really want is each call to have its own data. There isn't much reason for each call to have its own methods. If that's not correct you will have to elaborate. > Looking > athttp://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html#extending-embedded-py..., > I see how to add functions, but it looks like they are added at a > global scope-not in a particular environment.

They're not in a global scope, "globals" in Python have a scope local to a module (global is a misnomer, at best it means "globally accessible"). So you don't have to worry about a function defined on one module clashing with a function defined in another modules. However, even if name-clashes aren't an issue there isn't much point to defining the same function mulitple times for multiple calls. What you probably want is to define a new type that contains all the data extension code would need. For each call to the plugin, you would create an object of this type, then pass it to the appropriate plugin function. I have given you a vague answer because your question was vague; if you want a better answer please rephrase to be more specific. Include details like what you would like the code of a Python plugin to look like. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
