Yes, I now see the inconsistencies in my post. But they don't accurately reflect what I actually did. Sorry. I went back and checked and still got errors. I tried deleting a mycalc.pyc that had been created and the problem cleared up! If I remember correctly, for a while I had moved mycalc.py to another folder in PYTHONPATH (I had recently learned how to modify PYTHONPATH in Win XP), and the .pyc was in this folder. Sorry I don't remember clearly. But what is clear is the problem cleared up immediately after deleting the .pyc. Does this make sense? Showing mycalc is OK now: IDLE 1.1 >>> from mycalc import cmpSeq >>> a = range(1,1000) >>> b = range(1,1000) >>> cmpSeq(a,b) Sequences are identical, and of length 999 >>> b[500] = 13 >>> cmpSeq(a,b) sequences first differ at index 500 seq1[500] = 501 seq2[500] = 13 len(seq1) = 999 len(seq2) = 999 Now I'll begin to ponder the suggestions made by Javier Ruere.
