Warning: The contents of this dictionary should not be modified; changes may not affect the values of local variables used by the interpreter. So modifying locals() is unsafe at least. Do as everyone else suggested and use a dictionary. If using ns['cat'] really annoys you so much, define a generic attribute container: class NS(object): pass ns = NS() ns.cat = 1 ns.dog = 2 ns.zoo = ns.cat + ns.dog -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
