Obviously. However, Scheme continuations are (or can be) used to implement all other single-threaded paradigms (coroutines, generators, exceptions etc), so the execution context quite normally jumps around "erratically". There is no automatic method to decide when final is final. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
