As with all such things, you stick the implementation in a well-named function and simply call the function everywhere. The implementation never needs to be a one-liner expression. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
