thank you very much, the help you provided me works fine nonetheless, yesterday i met a little problem: the procedure you indicated me >>>> import foo >>>> foo.afunction() works fine but when i modify the function "afunction" in the file foo.py then no change occurs when i call it again, i mean the function behavior is exactely the same as before i made any modification; i tried to import foo again, but nothing happens, the output of "foo.afunction" is as if i never made any change to it ... if you have any suggestion, it is very appreciated -- roberto OS: GNU/Linux Debian Kubuntu, Edubuntu _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
