And here's the same code written without your class but maintaining as far as possible the same structure. I find my version far easier to read then your's with all your spurious 'g.' 'L.' prefixes. ----------------------------------------------------- #!python2.7 from textwrap import dedent class Blob(object): pass prog = Blob() prog.VERSION = '1.0' # But isn't this so much cleaner? prog.NAME = 'Thesaurus' class TestClass: no = 'Class' way = 'this' def main (): tc = TestClass() l = ['Some', 'objects'] # Here's how you should create output without a fight. print dedent('''\ When programing python without {prog.NAME}, it is very easy to access your {l[1]}. {l[0]} people might say {prog.NAME} has no {tc.no}.''').format(prog=prog, l=l, tc=tc) if hasattr(prog, 'VERSION'): print 'But I challenge them to write code {tc.way} clean without it!'.format(**locals()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() ----------------------------------------------------- -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
