<Obligitary Lecture> Look at your import statements. Provided you have nbeen using recommended practice you will have used from module import name1,name2,... or just import module. If the latter you need to access abc as module.abc So you know which module its from - thats why its the recommended approach - after all more than one module may have an abc.... OTOH if you used the non recommended from module import * You're left guessing... </End Lecture :-) > Although you can use introspection from Python to find out. try: >>> import sys >>> sys.exit <built-in function exit> >>> sys.exit.__module__ 'sys' >>> HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
