This is the approach taken by Common Lisp. Often just a few type declarations, added to code in inner loops, results in vastly faster code. Also, although I don't tend to use type declarations while interactively developing code, I often add them later. Mostly, I add them to document the code, but the added safety and faster execution time are nice benefits. bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
