Arguing the case for del: how would I, in doing automated testing, ensure that I've returned everything to a "clean" starting point in all cases if I can't delete variables? Sometimes a global is the simplest way to do something... how do I delete a global if not with "del"? -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
