Well, yeah, but it is during debugging, not production code. > But if you know that > there's only a handful of variables that you'd actually want to do that > to, you can simply put those into an object of some form, and then > mutate that object. o_O If I knew ahead of time which variables held the wrong value, I'd fix them so they held the right value ahead of time, and not bother using a debugger. :-) -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
