depends on the situation for me. normally I use log statements that turn on or off based on predicates (now I need to figure out how to handle a SIGUSR1 to reload the who-logs info) hence this quest. when done it's going into my rcsoc (random cross section of code) collection which I'll publish one of these days. Also, I need to see if I can make this lower overhead by pre computing as much of the predicate term as possible and perform the test before calling a log statement. I put in *lots* of log statements but leave most of them off until needed. different form of wolf fence. > Could you possibly be confusing the execution of the "def" > statement...

I know def executes. forth plays similar games and I spent a *lot* of time in the guts of forth. With python, I'm just not familiar enough with what goes on beneath the sheets. > > Ah..

I also miss tt/ttt, ss/sss, 1l and probably a few others. I sometimes think IDE's should have a "did you mean" function to alert you to stuff that's "almost" right. kind of like the lisp programmer's assistant. --- eric -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
