The first thing run does is import primes, which immediately imports run and tries to access the name globalvar in it, before it has been defined. There are ways of fixing that, but for various reasons it's usually a bad idea for subsidiary modules to try to import things from the main module of a program. It would be better to move globalvar into a third module. Even better again would probably be not to use a global at all, but pass it in as a parameter to the prime() function. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
