Closures will use whatever the language says they use. LISP used dynamic binding, but this caused some interesting problems as mentioned above. Perl allows both, depending on whether the local is declared with "local" or "my". Python uses only lexical, though there's probably some way to get dynamic behaviour if you want. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
