To repeat: while my '_' proposal could have been for a language change (in 3.0), it was actually for a convention recognized by a metaclass or, more likely, decorator (and implementable now, I think). *Any* flag would serve the purpose, but I picked one that was a single char while being visually striking and, as far as I know, rarely used in current practice even though quite legal. A 'self_' prefix would do as well except for being more to type. The prefix could even be an argument to the decorator! Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
