The obvious way seems to be to import the test_vectors.py file, which gives me import test_vectors as x;seven_seg=x.test_vectors.get as one possible "obvious" solution with 53 chars. But from test_vectors import*;seven_seg=test_vectors.get has only 52. And if you observe that their "test.py" file already does all the imports we want, you can get to from test import*;seven_seg=test_vectors.get with 44 chars. But I simply cant see how to get below that. And I think this is not the wanted solution at all, which is why I have no problem posting it here :-) ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> tismerysoft GmbH : Have a break!
