I think this example more is a symptom of a childish need to get things your way than of a deficiency in Python. BTW, range(5) = 0..4 in Ada and Ruby. You said "when I absolutely need macros" but none of your examples demonstrate any "absolute need." I can't see your point. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
