You need to put main.py into the pphoto package. $ mkdir pphoto/ $ mv main.py pphoto/ $ touch pphoto/__init__.py -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
