> You could write a class with a custom __setattr__() method that checks
for valid attribute names for that class (a list of strings given to it's __init__() method). That way you could form several restricted "namespaces" for variables simply as different instances of that class.
This can be easier accomplished using __slots__, e.g.: >>> class X(object): ... __slots__ = ['a']
But in my opinion, it isn't worth it. You still don't get compile time errors, which is probably the main reason to use strict mode.
I agree. - Patrick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
