Good point. snip. I'm not sure what the NL equivalents of function invocation vs. function reference are, but somehow I don't think there would be a lot of confusion (not that there couldn't be). Here is a bad example. Think about computing that answer. Compute the answer, and think about the result. --> thinkabout( func ) thinkabout( func() ) Oddly enough, the NL equivalents aren't even close to resembling each other. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
