I am not talking about the time. That could be done with something declarative too.

No it wouldn't. Lets call that keyword cef. The fact that you can write: def foo(): cef.attr instead of def foo() foo.attr changes nothing about foo.attr being globally accessible. -- Antoon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
