For that version you shouldn't need the x=x: def make_it(x): def highliter(): print "highlight", x return highliter The reason is each time you call make_it, you're creating a new scope where x has the correct value, and highliter keeps referring to that scope even after make_it has returned. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
