VBScript allows you to specify that variable names be declared. I used to think this was good - until I realised that Python allows you to dynamically assign attributes in namespaces using all sorts of tricks.
(Setattr, using __dict__ etc). It's just not possible with Python. Rarely happens to me in practise and is easy to fix. All the best, Fuzzyman http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/index.shtml -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
