Because for typical usage of integers (which doesn't include your example),
it is more expensive to check if there's already an integer with that specific
value out there than to create a new one.

ror() is that exception() passes the "exc_info=1" keyword

There's no possible value. You'll have to write this like

if times is None:

else:

Many functions implemented in C have this behavior.
For all functions written in Python, you can look up the default

Don't tell me that tuples in maths are sets.
For a mathematical example, take
A = { (x,y) : 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1 }
Here, (x,y) is a 2-tuple, and you know that at index 0 there's the x-coordinate
of a point contained in the square A, and at index 1 there's the y-coordinate.

Strings cannot be "null" in Python.
If you want to check if a string is not empty, use "if str".
This also includes the case that "str" may not only be an empty

I would make the locals() result completely independent from the frame,

(though, this needs some other way for trace functions to interact with

At the very end of the program, that is here, after main(), just insert
raw_input()

Sorry? 2+2 here returns 4, and certainly should with your Python.

as the program terminates. To prevent that, add
a call to raw_input() at the end of your script. Python will then prompt you
for input, and therefore the window will stay open.

Yes! That's really a good idea. But "format" is a bad name. Let's call it
uld if all expressions in
parentheses were tuples.
Thus, the comma is necessary to disambiguate and explicitly tell the parser
that you mean to construct a tuple.

Not quite.

the range. But it's a problem when someone just
does
l = range(100)
and assumes that he's got a list, probably doing
l.remove(5)
and so on.
In Python 3000, plans are that range() will be the same as xrange() is now,
and anyone needing a list can call list(range(...)).
