I still don't understand why is it a bad idea in the case of globals(). This is the only way I know to define variables programatically in the top-level namespace, without having to do it manually one by one.
The point is that creating variables whose names are computed at run time is usually a misguided thing to do in the first place. Think about it -- how are you going to *use* those variables that you've created? If the answer is that you're going to go looking for a way to read the values of variables whose names are computed at run time, you might as well not use variables at all, but just keep their values in a dictionary. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
