Well, I have never heard that definition. For more than half of my life I only have heard the definition that a closure is the combination of a function (i.e. its code) plus an environment containing the unbound variables. Depending on the language the variables may be bound to values, memory locations or some other things. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
