You can do it like that, but if it were to become part of the standard distribution it would be nice to avoid having to tokenise the code twice. (You could define the new block scheme in such a way that 'blockify' doesn't need to tokenise, but I think it would end up a bit ugly.) -M- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
