I'm building a web server. The many variables are names of header fields. One part of the code looks like this (or at least I'd like it to): class RequestHeadersManager: # General header fields Cache_Control = \ Connection = \ Date = \ Pragma = \ Trailer = \ Transfer_Encoding = \ Upgrade = \ Via = \ Warning = \ # Request header fields Accept = \ Accept_Charset = \ Accept_Encoding = \ Accept_Language = \ Authorization = \ ... Etc etc etc. At the end they'll all be assign to None. Then, when initialized, __init__() will the the string of headers, parse them, and use those variables shown above to assign to the header values. Of course a normal request won't include all of those headers, so the others will remain None. That's what I want. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
