Do you mean a name<->object mapping? This, I think, isn't true. There is a name->object mapping, but to make that a name<->object mapping *would* carry an overhead. It might (or might not) be a *small* overhead, but since every single Python program would suffer the consequences, it's just not worth it. Especially, as others have pointed out, that it wouldn't really be very useful at all. -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
