That's not very pythonic. Better is to provide a function in the script to run it (say run), then run that in the script iff it's the script is being executed: if __name__ == '__main__': run() Then to use it from another script, you'd do something like: import myscript myscript.run() > or maybe using threading Launching new threads as part of the import process is *dangerous*. There are some nasty bugs lurking there that cause things like your import never finishing. If you need to start a thread in a module, the approach outlined above avoids those bugs. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
