Note that when using this technique, f.g will not be bound until after you call the function: >>> def f(x): ... def g(y): ... pass ... f.g = g ... >>> f <function f at 0xb7df3df4> >>> f.g Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'g' >>> f(1) >>> f.g <function g at 0xb7df3e2c> -- Benji York -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
