When I looked at the above, I went "tilt" - If you had no a priori knowledge about how many strings are associated with an agent - (or agents with a string), then you could only identify an agent because it was not a string, or if it had some other magic property... I cannot imagine a use case for this that would not be better done with a dict using the agents as keys - or are the strings the keys? If the strings are "inputs" and the agents "routines" - is the idea to call the agents one after the other all with the same input, or is agent3 called with the return value of agent2 like a systolic array arrangement? What would be the reason for doing it like this? I am confused - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
