Just import subprocess at the top of your module. If subprocess hasn't been imported yet, it will be imported when your module is loaded. If it's already been imported, your module will use the cached version that's already been imported. In other words, it sounds like Python already does what you want. You don't need to do anything special. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
