It is difficult to say what is the "native" Python term for the thing. "Binding," maybe? The language spec fails to give it a name. However, when comparing different languages, you had better unify the terminology or you'll be confused by purely terminological issues. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
