Well, this is not accurate, as you can have 'infinitely-nested scoping' in python, in form of nested functions. For example, you can use map(lambda x: <expressions with x, including other map/filter/reduce/lambda's>, list_of_x), and you will have your isolated scopes. Although due to lambdas supporting only expressions, following this style leads to awkward and complicated code (and/or instead if, map instead for, and so on). -- With best regards, Daniel Kluev -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
