On this list? Yep. You should have. :) Of course, even anonymous functions/modules etc do have names. The names are just blank or otherwise unhelpful. In contrast, lists and dicts fundamentally don't _have_ names. You'd have to subclass to add one of your own. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
