Please tell me. Thanks~
Others have answered this particular question, but you're probably still wondering what is the use of changing .func_name if it doesn't also change the name by which you call it. The answer is that there are tools that use the .func_name attribute for various purposes. For example, a documentation generating tool might look at the .func_name attribute to make the proper documentation. Actually, that's probably *the* biggest use case because I can't think of any more significant ones. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
