Eval() is for expressions, exec() is for general code. But you do not really need a variant. Just define a preprocessor function 'blockify' which converts code in an alternate syntax to regular indented block syntax. Then exec(blockify(alt_code_string)) I presume that this is more or less what the templating engines do. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
