In addition to your issue, there is also the problem that supplying an empty environment does not allow the user to call necessary functions (like scheme_eval). Why not just get the name from the user > That's probably what I'll end up doing, something similar to: special_forms = {} def exec_func_def(symbol, def_string, name=None): exec(def_string) if name is None: special_forms[symbol] = f else: special_forms[symbol] = eval(name) It just feels kind of hackish to me, when what I really want to do here is eval an anonymous function. -- Nick Zarczynski <http://www.rentageekit.com> Pointless Programming Blog <http://pointlessprogramming.wordpress.com>
