Right, so its primary imperfection is that it potentially re-executes a block of code that had partially succeeded. Still of value, but definitely has its dangers. I wonder how hard it would be to tinker at the C level and add a __getattr__ style of hook... ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
