I am writing a simulation that loads some predefined constants, depending on the options called by the user. I originally had it set up to parse the file, and load the constants explicitly, but then I thought that with the existence of this handy builtin execfile, I could make write my constants file in python, and just load it. I guess it is not the best approach. Thanks for the advice though (everyone), I learned something. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
