The simplest way is to make sure the name will be defined whatever the value of the test: one = 42 # ... ok = (one == 1) print ok As a side note, if you want to check wether a name exists in the current namespace, you can use a try/except block: try: toto print "toto is defined" except NameError: print "toto is not defined" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
