That's not what I have on OS X with Python 2.4.1. In [1]: import email In [2]: dir(email) Out[2]: ['__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__', '__version__', 'message_from_file', 'message_from_string'] Are you sure that you're getting the right file? Check email.__file__ . -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
