Perhaps not so far off as you might think. With import hooks, it's entirely possible to have a program that creates itself on demand - for instance, you might transpile your script from some variant form of the language (maybe you're trying out a proposed new syntax). It won't help you with the lotto, but it certainly is an AI assistant for a programmer that creates runnable code when called upon. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
