Python forbids very few things in comparison to other languages. The attitude is "We're all adults here". Because Python is such a dynamic language, it is often hard for the compiler to tell the difference between something you are doing deliberately and a mistake. If you're worried about that, google for PyChecker. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
