(This is done only once -- the first time a module is imported.) 2. Bind values in the importing code to the module or its attributes. (This is done every time a module is imported.) So... Your init code will be executed once -- in phase 1, no matter how many times an import causes phase two to be performed. Gary Herron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
