Unfortunately, no, this is basically what I currently have. Instead of a.name printing 'test', it should print '__main__'. I want the name of the module in which the *instance* is created, not the name of the module in which the *class* is created. STeVe P.S. Note that I already discussed two possible solutions which I didn't much like: (1) pass __name__ to the class instance, e.g. ``a = test.myclass(__name__)`` or (2) declare an empty sublcass of myclass in the second module (in your case, at the interactive prompt). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
