Why, why, why do you want such a horrid thing? I have an function that isn't always doing what I want. I make a reference to it, so I can print it from time to time, and do some other things to try to see why sometimes I am getting an unwanted result. I can no longer debug my problem. You are seriously proposing this? >If I did this thing, would people follow me down the street booing and >jeering and throwing things at me? I might start ahead of time, just for thinking of it ... There has got to be a better way to get what you want -- or perhaps for you to want something saner. Laura -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
