I guess this is not much different than using exec, at the conceptual level. exec is perhaps more suitable when you really need just one function at a time and not a whole file of related functions. > Also, the code above can be simplified to: get_counter = lambda > packet: packet[5:1:-1] > OK, but that was just a demonstration. The actual functions are complex enough to not fit into a single expression. Eli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
