Caches and stuff. For example, you might establish a database connection, and then hang onto it for all queries; or maybe you load up a bunch of user objects and keep them in memory for when you need them again. Anything that you store in a global (module-level) variable will hang around. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
