Easy: make sure your module is called "threading.py" and is earlier in the path than the standard library. In fact, it's so easy that people do it unintentionally all the time... Generally, the current directory (or the script directory) is the first entry in sys.path, so that's a good place to put it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
