I think this is working.... First off, 2 module files:

funcs.py
def func1():
print "I'm func1 in funcs.py"

more.py
def func2():
print "I'm func2 in 'more.py'"

and my wonderful main program:

xx.py
import funcs
def addnewfuncs(p):
x = __import__(p)
funcs.__dict__.update(x.__dict__)
funcs.func1()
addnewfuncs('more')
funcs.func2()

The first problem I had was getting import to accept a variable. It doesn't seem to, so I used __import__(). Then, I had to remember to assign this to a variable ... and then it appears to work just fine.

Did I miss anything in this???

Thanks for the pointer!

Bob.
