That seems to be the case :) I never really meant to say that I think that Python does not have variables. If anything, I meant that Bruno's explanation that they behave fundamentally different from C variables (and that therefore it may be confusing to call them both "variables") helped me to understand better some of the differences. For me, that was mainly regarding the concepts of immutability -- which is something that in this form doesn't exist in C. (It can of course be implemented in C -- after all, I think original Python is implemented in C.) Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
