OK, In that case its probably the fact its global as suggested by Jerry and the regex approach being used is assuming all globals should be functions or classes or Consts... The bottom line is that its highlighting something the author thought might indicate a problem not necessarily a valid error. I once used a version of C lint that had a -v flag that printed an explanatory message along with each reported error, it would be nice if pyLint did the same - a nice wee project for anyone that's feeling bored and wants to contribute something to the Python/Opensource community maybe?!!! :-) Alan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
