There's a small discussion in this group currently regarding efficiently representing state machines in python (without resorting to bytecode hacks) under the thread "Python code written in 1998, how to improve/change it?". That would be a part of what you want. Cheers, Carl. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
