immutable attribute in most languages to be a serious piece of
misdesign, but there isn't a huge amount of point unless it is done
properly. Unreliable safety devices are as likely to increase
errors as reduce them, at least in the han

just happens to have objects that are all similar, does it remain
heterogeneous?

Of course the concept is real, but the point is that Python doesn't

Hrvoje,
To make it more elegant I would do this:
1. Put all the ...do somethings... in functions like
re1_do_something(), re2_do_something(),...
2. Create a list of pairs of (re,func) in other words:
dispatch=[ (re1, re1_do_something), (re2, re2_do_something), .
try:
[var for var in dir() if not (var.startswith('_') or var=='var')]
Example:
---
>>> a=10
>>> b=20
>>> [var for var in dir() if not (var.startswith('_') or var=='var')]
['a', 'b']
