why would a subsequent statement need to know that ? are you sure you didn't mean "user" instead of "subsequent statement" ? for users, it's actually quite simple to figure out what's in the _ variable: it's the most recently *printed* result. if you cannot see it, it's not in there. </F> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
