Alas, no: your simple idea is essentially the best you can do in any implementation of Pyhon at 2.1 level. To put a positive spin on it: if there *WEREN'T* some things that are much easier and slicker in Python 2.4, with all the years and the work we've put into Python since 2.1's times, now THAT would be bad!-) I do hope that Jython does eventually "grow up" to a more modern version of Python -- unfortunately, I'm too rusty with Java, and not involved enough in JVM work day by day, to actually help out there, and apparently so are most potential contributors to Jython:-( Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
