Hi, If you store the variables in __init__.py, you can import them from the package. So in your case suppose __init__.py contains: a = 10 b = {1 :"Hello", 2: "World" } Than if you import my_package, you can access the variables as follows (interactive IPython session): In [1]: import my_package In [2]: my_pack my_package my_package/ In [2]: my_package. my_package.a my_package.b In [2]: my_package.a Out[2]: 10 In [3]: my_package.b Out[3]: {1: 'Hello', 2: 'World'} In [4]: -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
