And while we're on the topic of what compilation means in Python, I'm not sure I fully understand the difference between compiled (.pyc) code and exec-ed code. Is the exec-ed code turned to bytecode too, i.e. it will be as efficient as compile-d code ? Eli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
