I think you may be incorrect, or I have misinterpreted you. Try this: ** In test.py ******************** import sys import foo.bar print foo.bar.myvar foo.bar.myvar = 42 print foo.bar.myvar sys.path.insert(0, 'foo') import bar print bar.myvar ** In foo/__init__.py ************ # this is blank ** In foo/bar.py ***************** myvar = 10 If you run test.py, then you get the output 10 42 10 When I would have expected 10, 42, 42. The bar module gets imported twice, once as foo.bar and secondly as bar. The value of 42 in myvar does not get retained, as there are two copies of the module imported. -- Jeremy Sanders http://www.jeremysanders.net/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
