A C-like trick might be helpful while refactoring: <working code> if False: <non-working code> You have to indent all the non-working code by one level, but with a good editor that's a snap. Python will still parse the following lines (it must be valid Python syntax), but the resulting parse tree won't be executed. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
