I think you mean the Bunch idiom, rather than the Borg one (which has to do with having instances of the same class share state). Personally, I would rather pass myvar as well as the attribute names, and set them with setattr, as I see some others already suggested. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
