Well I hope you aren't suggesting that declaring variables makes it impossible to forget to initalise them. So I don;t really see the relevance of this remark, since you simply add an extra run to fix up the "forgot to declare" problem. After that you get precisely one runtime error per "forgot to initialize". regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.python.org/pycon/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
