So what module name do you import if C.__module__ is __main__? > I just don't see it, which of course doesn't mean it can't be done, with > sufficient evil ingenuity.

All I did was recommend using the module name if you had one, and if not then the file name was your best bet. You chose to ignore part of my statement to focus on the part you disagreed with, because you thought what I had suggested in the first place was a better idea. I pointed out this oversight on your part, and you've been dwelling on it ever since. Frankly, I thought you were brighter than that, have no idea why you're acting like this, and frankly don't think you need a tutor. I figured this out by fooling around with the interpreter before posting in the first place, you certainly know enough to do the same. <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
