I haven't followed the complete discussion about once, but I would assume it would be used as such:
once <name> = <expression> that is, always an assignment, with the value stored as a cellvar, perhaps, on first execution 0f the code. Typically I would use it as: def function(a): once pathjoin = os.path.join <etc> _______________________________________________ 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
