The client *is* better off in that he doesn't have to pass locals() to some magic decorator to achieve his goal; how this is implemented is a different issue. As for being an ugly hack, you may use inspect.stack () if the underscore in sys._getframe() makes you feel dirty. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
