Hi, Daniel, I added an explanation of what I want-- a technical discussion of it. I also included the output in a reply to the code. Unfortunately it's 367 lines long and rather obscure, albeit systematic. If it works, of course Python could adopt it, but my self-esteem kind of interferes with thinking that I could have improved something that is a decade old and hundreds of people have stared at... even though I do have a CS Bachelor's. Besides, Martin Lowis said: > There is an easy design pattern around it, so I'm > -1 on complicating the GC protocol. That doesn't mean that no one will help me add it to /my/ project though. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
