Well being explicit when trying to suggest an implicit syntax (in order to reduce typing) is a little difficult ;-) Though you're right my main goal is not being implicit but would be reducing typing and have shorter source code lines. If 'global '<varname>' is accepted inside a def, then moving 'class_elements <varnames>' inside the def could be acceptable as well though it would requiere, that this statement is repeated per def bye N -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
