FYI the classes in the file have been working in various environments since I wrote them in python1.3 and updated them to python 2.x in 2005.
I think I solved the problem, well not solved in that I don't know why the technique I used failed. but at least the code works when used as an import. Under my 2.5 system I had a startup file that included the line ld = execfile mostly because I got tired of typing execfile('filename') to load in a file I was testing 2to3 complained it couldn't parse this line so I changed to def ld(filename): exec(compile(open(file).read(), file, 'exec')) when I tried ld('starDate.py') at the python3.2 prompt I got the indicated errors if at the prompt I instead type import starDate I get no errors and the classes and methods work as expected. I'm sure this is a name space problem but I don't know what the problem is. Its obvious that the 3.2 replacement for execfile does not have the same effect as execfile.
