Did you look at dir(settings) for a list of method and attribute names? Look at module.__file__. But be careful because some modules are "built in", that is, they don't actually exist as a separate file and are part of the Python compiler. E.g.: >>> import sys >>> sys.__file__ Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__file__' >>> sys <module 'sys' (built-in)> -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
