I agree with this completely. My company has a rather large application written in Python (http://www.goombah.com) and I find that lambdas make code more concise and clear in a manner not unlike, for instance, list comprehensions. I just don't see what gain would ensue from losing them. Gary --- Gary Robinson CTO Emergent Music, LLC [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
