The one obvious way with shell scripts is a *relative* pathname. You can say "./bar.sh" (or, if you want to run something relative to the script directory, some manipulation of path names and $0 will do that for you). The best Python equivalent would be: from . import bar I'd very much like for that to be possible. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
