Thanks for the info.

However, there is nothing wrong with using "import *". I am sure there
is no name conflicts. Every class starts with rslh... 

I am sure rslhHTML isn't instantiating any classes. It consists ONLY
of class definitions. 

I did import rslhHTML at the Python prompt. That was what I meant by
PythonWin.

Anyway, for what it's worth, after several hours of hacking the code
around trying to work out which bit was at fault, I eventually deleted
the .pyc files and the problem went away.

How fustrating is that?
