Me, too. Especially about wrongly oversimplifying stuff that's complicated. My statement above isn't exactly right, since generator expressions usually *can* access stuff in the enclosing local scope. They wouldn't be very useful if they couldn't. -- Neil Cerutti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
