In foo there is a file __init__.py, right? If you have 3 class files in foo: bar.py, baz.py, and bax.py, you're __init__.py could contain: # __init__.py from foo.bar import Bar from foo.baz import Baz from foo.bax import Bax # end of __init__.py Then, voila: >>> import foo >>> dir(foo) ['Bar', 'Bax', 'Baz', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', 'bar', 'bax', 'baz'] You could write code in __init__.py to import all the files in foo/ if you wanted. That way you wouldn't have to explicitly list each file. (Hint: see os.listdir() and __import__().) HTH, n PS. I don't really like this approach. It seems too implicit (magical). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
