Thanks John and Geert.

I checked if the "test" that I was finding was the "test" I shoulda been finding, and nope, it isn't.  It's a different module and help(test) gives me:

NAME
    test - Tests for 'biblio.webquery', using nose.

FILE
    /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/biblio.webquery-0.4.3b-py2.7.egg/test/__init__.py

PACKAGE CONTENTS
    test_errors

So I'm loading that one first it seems.  I use biblio.webquery as part of a book cataloguing program I wrote some time ago.  Thanks John for the prompting to check sys.path.  Now to figure out how to get the right one loaded in each program.  Just deleting the bogus module will do for now and hope that my librarian keeps working.

Cheers
