I don't know what you mean by frozen, so maybe this is no good, but I would avoid having aModule look back at the state of mainApp. Instead use another module to communicate state. This could be a simple as # in mainApp import helper if something: import oneMod as theMod else: import orTheOtherMod as theMod helper.theMod = theMod import aModule # in aModule import helper.theMod as theMod theMod.someFunction() Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
