that's why the evaluation model used in the case statement needs to be explicit. that applies to the "once but not really" approach, as well as the "static = in global scope" approach (http://online.effbot.org/2006_06_01_archive.htm#pep-static). there are no shortcuts here, if we want things to be easy to explain and easy to internalize. </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
