Only +0 on it myself, but I do know of a use-case -- certain types of web-templating frameworks can be easier to use if the inserted code can be put on one line. Some people have been agitating for some way to do this with Python for some time (on Zope lists), and a preprocessor would provide a means for them to get what they want. OTOH, I have been able to manage with the way things are. It encourages good separation between templates and code, which is supposed to be a good thing according to the "Zope Zen". ;-) -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
