Thanks for the reply. you are indeed right, they were included from different places. from C:\Python24\Lib and D:\mydir
But the strange thing is: anywhere on C: the file from C:\Python24\Lib was included. in D:\mydir the one from that directory BUT: anywhere else on D: apparantly the one from D:\mydir was included ?! I would expect it would come from c:\Python24\Lib. Now I changed the files and of course I cannot reproduce it anymore. Oh well, now it works. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
