I have seen this approach on ActiveState Cookbook but can not find a reference to it right now. >>> def inc(jj): ... def dummy(): ... dummy.jj += 1 ... return dummy.jj ... dummy.jj = jj ... return dummy ... >>> h = inc(33) >>> h() 34 >>> h() 35 >>> i = inc(12) >>> i() 13 >>> i() 14 Waldemar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
