Awesome! I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious. Thank you Grobu, for demonstrating the existence of something we debated a few days ago. In another *painfully* long thread about mutable default arguments, I suggested the same idea: using a mutable default as static storage. It is very gratifying to see that other people have independently come up with the same idea. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
