globals() is implicitly documented as being writable: "This is always the dictionary of the current module..." -- unless you have a module with a read-only dict, that is writable. http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/library/functions.html#globals There are tricks to getting read-only namespaces, but you can legitimately expect to write to globals(). -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
