"No such feature"? What's that nonlocal thing then? The above function could not be written that way in Python 2. Of course maybe we want to put this feature in another category, but anyway, the function couldn't be written in some languages, even though they have closures. -- Devin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
