I want to use collections.ChainMap, or something very like it, and I don't want to be forced into an unnatural is-a relationship with dict if I don't have to.

I don't think that can work, because __call__ itself is a function, and I would need to change *its* globals. Which brings me back exactly where I started, trying to change globals in a function to a non-dict. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
