This analogy is nonsense. There is no way you will execute code on my system if I don't authorize it, regardless of how "public" are the variables declared in my code. No one will execute code on _your_ system either, without your authorization. That puts you in a different position: you can easily _check_ that everything is alright before executing, whereas in the office example, it cannot be done. Of course, if the analogy is flawed in such an essential aspect, I won't even humor it. I worry, though, that you obviously believe that it is not flawed. -- Luis Zarrabeitia Facultad de Matemática y Computación, UH http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
