The inquirer has previously shown an interest in changing Python's keywords, so although recommending that someone use the installed Python remains sound advice for most situations, I think compilation from source is the only way to go here, at least for Python 2.4 and earlier - I don't know what grammar tricks were added to Python 2.5 and later, but I imagine that you'd still need to compile everything after modifying any grammar description file that may be provided. To compile from source, the inquirer should read the README file provided in the source distribution, paying attention at the very least to the section entitled "If you don't read instructions". The source distribution is found here: http://www.python.org/download/ Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
