I don't see much advantage -- you're still leaving behind an object that won't be used again. If you're concerned about namespace pollution, there are a couple of ways to clean it up: 1) Delete the function after using it: def account_for_non_square_pixels(x): ... account_for_non_square_pixels() del account_for_non_square_pixels 2) Use __all__ to specify which names you intend to export (doesn't prevent anyone from importing something explicitly, but at least it makes your intention clear, stops irrelevant things appearing in dir() or help(), etc). -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
