My work actually won't be changing any of the function-calling opcodes. The current trick bound methods use (replacing the function value on the stack with the 'self' argument and increasing the number of arguments by one) is unaffected. I may change them very subtly: currently the _VAR* opcodes expect positional arguments, then keyword arguments, then the *args argument on the stack. It looks like we're going to have to change that order, but I don't see how that would affect the number-of-arguments reporting. And if it does, too bad for me; I'm pretty sure your change will go in before mine, and I've got lots of experience merging things :-) -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi!
