Thanks for the clarification, Diez! Indeed, I tried python2.3 and python2.4, and of course not python2.5 ;) I would like to make this available to the whole project. I suspect I could put it in the package __init__.py... in that way, the __builtins__ namespace should have it... am I right? -- Marco Bizzarri http://notenotturne.blogspot.com/ http://iliveinpisa.blogspot.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
