Glad to see I'm not the only one to get tripped up by stack frames. I guess that's what happens to us non-CS majors who get into Python. After I got Kent's explanation in the discussion he refers to above, I did a little research. The best shortish description of the call stack is, not surprisingly, at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_stack I understood things a bit better once I took the time to digest that article. gabe _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
