It seems to me that that which makes modifying a module's contents via a reference evil makes modifying them via globals() equally evil. The only thing is, modifying them through a module reference is explicit and straightforward, whereas modifying the contents via globals() is an implicit, backhanded trick that relies on certain behind-the-scenes behavior. I'd say using globals() is far eviler. So I must disagree with your good-natured objection. Unless there's some practical weakness of using references that I am unaware of. -- CARL BANKS (Yes, I know eviler is not a word.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
