foo("123") means "call the callable identifed by the expression 'foo' with foo with the string '123'", so that's just what should happen. > What I need is to point it to the whole string received - 'foo > ("123")'. received by whom? if you call a function with an argument, the function receives the argument. the expression used to locate the callable (in this case, the function name) is not part of the call. > Is there a way I can do this? no (at least not given how you've described your problem). </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
