In this scheme, dispatch tables can be considered to be reverse-lookup namespaces. Where a regular namespace is used to look up a value given its name, a dispatch table is used to look up a name given its value. The switch statement then lets you actually do something based on which name is returned. -- Eric Sumner _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
