to disagree with you on the fact
that in standard python os is not a built in module. Even though nt is
built in,
the os modules also built in. But what is confusing is that Anthony
posted that
he was able to import the os module like so…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Help on built-in module sys:<br>

<br>
Help on module os:<br>
<br>
NAME<br>
os - OS routines for Mac, DOS, NT, or Posix depending on what
system we're on.<br>

/usr/lib/python2.3/os.py<br>
<br>
os.py == not builtin<br>
<br>
I often describe the "help" utility as "built in."<br>
really, it is not.. it is a standard part of python.. but it is written
as a python module, not a core part of the interpreter written in pure
C. <br>
<br>
The help facility, which I use all the time in cpython, and
semantically consider a builtin, is *not* technically a builtin. It
comes from pydoc.py. Which rocks. But is not built in.<br>
