Ah, I see: the struct module is pure Python in 2.5, so my theory doesn't hold. (Btw by 'built-in' I meant 'not a C extension module in a separate DLL': for the import "semantics" of CPython, built-in modules take precedence over any other module from any kind of external file, whereas C extensions can be hidden by other modules earlier on sys.path.) But that's not the problem here. As you noted the difference seems to be whether the struct module was already imported before or not. I now think that the proper hack is to make the 'import struct' local instead of global, so that geninterp won't try to freeze it in. The current situation is very strange, btw, because our struct module is not geninterp'ed, but the array module is - and it includes a geninterp'ed version of most of the struct module via this global import. Can you tell me if it solves the problem if the 'from struct import xxx' is moved into the fromstring() and tostring() methods? A bientot, Armin.
