Imagine simple operation like "method renaming" in a simple "dumb" environment like text editor + grep. Now imagine how simple it can be if system "knows" all your identifiers and just regenerates relevant portions of text from internal database-alike representation. > You mean something like LabView ? No, I don't think so. I never use LabView but imagine it something very "graphical-oriented". No, I think about more "classic" text view. But back-ended with "smart" underlying system - not just obvious "text". Vladimir Ignatov -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
