I know that using an underscore in an identifier 'hides' that name from being accessible to a url. I am wondering if that applies to identifiers that are imported as well. For example if, from mydefines import * makes an identifier mydefines.myvariable available in the namespace as 'myvariable', is it still possible to 'call' myvariable via url as in http://myserver/pythonapp.py/myvariable I am starting to wonder about the best way to keep certain functions and variables obaque to prying web eyes, and if putting them in modules offers any protection. -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
