I don't know how the Python bytecode works... how it is executed. I thought that Python parses the .py file and generates the bytecode that doesn't contain all the necessary information for re-creating the source code. (But that I agree, that might mean real compilation which is not the case...) Octavian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
