Not strictly true; Python just inverts the C model. In C, you declare your locals; in Python, you declare your globals. The "global x" statement is a declaration. But otherwise, yes. When a function is compiled, the compiler has to figure out what's local and what's global. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
