By the way, will 'with statement', like the one in pascal and many other languages, be a good addition to python? For example,
with d do: z = x + y
would be equivalent to d['z']=d['x']+d['y'] or d.z = d.x + d.y in some other cases.
This would absolutely be the *best* solution to my problem.

Guido van Rossum has stated that he wants Python to eventually have a 'with' statement of the form:
with d: .z = .x + .y
(The leading '.' being required to avoid ambiguity in name lookups)
Cheers, Nick.
