Depends what you mean.
Do you mean encryption at the point of use?
That depends on the database.
Do you mean in your program?
That usually means unobfuscating it before use and its still
vulnerable to interception.

Yes, there is a module somewhere that allows you to import a module

Ok. I got in the working code to have a high score list, and it even
saves/loads one now (!!). The only problem is, clicking back from the
text window to the game window (only after you entered in your name to
go onto the high score list), closes the program. you dont get to say

Is there a convention for obfuscating database passwords? I think that
in the end there will be a script that boot-straps to zipped modules
but I don't think that that is secure enough. I was thinking about
asking the database lists but I think that this is more of a general
question.

Hi,
The one thing I would try, if I understand what you're after
correctly, would be to run a exec command with the module name.
modulename = 'myModule'
exec 'import ' + modulename
Then you can access the module names as any imported module.
Cheers

Nope, its called overloading. Polymorphism is where you

Kent and Danny,
Thanks for the help. The trick was to put the .read() at the end of the
urllib2 line. It makes some sense now but man I hate it when it is that
simple and I just can't see it.
Thanks again for the great help.

That does the trick. Rather than make a function, I'm likely to just
