That's not really true, python doesn't seem to care a lot about what's in a name. If you have periods, it just means you need things like: getattr(getattr(getattr(globals(),'x.y'), 'z.a'), 'index.html') as opposed to: x_y.z_a.index_html I think there's a strong case for index.html, especially since search engines and lots of HTTP authoring tools (eg DreamWeaver) like/need those periods to work properly. We actually use index.html quite a lot, with a dtml method as index_html which solves the problems: <dtml-var index.html> neat, huh? ;-) cheers, Chris
