Legal it may be, but are there times when you actually _need_ this level of dynamism? It strikes me as a pretty weird way of going about things. I agree with the point you're making, but this feels like a contrived example, and I'm curious as to whether it can be uncontrived. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
