1) Don't call a class instance exec, it will mask the built-in exec statement. 2) IMHO all the suggestions are way more complicated than if __name__ == "__main__" and are not SOP for most pythoneers. I know what the former construct means/does. I have to decipher your class to figure our what the latter does and it doesn't really save you any code or provide a performance enhancement. -Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
