Actually, they would be (you'll have a LOAD_GLOBAL followed by POP_TOP). Much better to use Python's inbuilt hash-braces support, available via a hash-future directive. #from __future__ import braces def fn(a): #{ if a <= 1: #{ return 1 #} else: #{ return fn(a-1) #} #} ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
