I think one of the recent standards added some kind of closure for callbacks. I tried to grok it and couldn't figure out what it was doing, so I gave it up as a bad job. It got hairy. Really hairy. Either that, or I was reading a poorly-written article, which is also possible. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
