If you're using this entirely on your own code, one good way to solve the problem is to make your code always importable. Protect your top-level code with "if __name__=='__main__':" (and possibly put it into a function main() if that simplifies your code counting), and you should then be able to import it as-is, and all you'll do is define a bunch of functions/classes. But counting lines of code is a hairy thing to do. Do blank lines, comments, and multi-line strings count? ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
