I'm sure the OP has good reasons, and I dont want to be arguing with anyone, but I am curious. If I found myself in a similar situation I wouldn't try to include code in whatever I'm writing that simply aids my writing of the code; it's irrelevant to the application and in my mind, shouldn't be there. its probably only a tiny bit of extra resource etc.. included into the app's use of resources and hence not really so important, but I would feel happier with my end code if I hadn't done such a thing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
