Functional programming is the solution here, not Lisp. You could make that with a new function (in Python), that takes a function (and its args, don't remember the correct syntax). def foo(function, args): setup(1) setup(2) function(args) cleanup(1) cleanup(2) The nice thing in Lisp would now be to save a lambda with the macro. In Python one would fill the name space with throw away functions that get called only one time. André -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
