How would you handle changes in operator syntax? - I have 'add' instead of '+' - I have U+2208 instead of 'in' I don't think this is generally applicable. Why don't you attach the function to the +/-/in/... token instead? Then you don't need the above table at all. sincerely, Albert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
