And classes and methods. Also, I like to draw a distinction between "code scopes" and "data scopes". We've been talking about data scopes. Code scopes are pretty much indents and dedents in Python - they define what code is operated on by something code-flow-related. To the OP: Python doesn't need a "my" or "local" - it has more rational defaults. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
