Straight-forwardly imported modules wind up in sys.modules, keyed by their module name. So "t = sys.modules['name']" is like "import name as t". Work it out in an interactive session, and you can get to know what is going on here. If you discover something wonderful you wish were written up, write it up. > import __builtin__ > __builtin__.__dict__['_'] = lambda x: x The __builtin__ module is magical -- the source of predefined names. _Do_not_muck_about_with_it_in_delivered_code_ (I know it is tempting). The reason to avoid playing with it is that you are slightly breaking the Python environment all code runs in. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
