you mean

foo = __import__(foo)

cheers mate that is much clearer as well.  I knew there was a simple way 
of looking at it but could I find it.

incidentally I am using reload() to unload the module (this method is 
later called again to load, run and unload other modules (except they 
aren't really modules but python scripts in the same directory)), can 
this really be right?  It works but it doesn't look as readable as the 
rest of the code do to the fact reload certainly doesn't mean unload in 
english ;-)
