Oh, weird. It works when i tried it. Aaaah, i only tried it at the interactive prompt. If i actually try writing a function which does, that, yes, i get: >>> def foo(): ... locals()["myvar"] = 42 ... print myvar ... >>> foo() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "<stdin>", line 3, in foo NameError: global name 'myvar' is not defined >>> My bad. tom -- Gens una summus. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
