You could write your program as a library with functions that create your arrays. For example in myfuncs.py put: def make_zeros(): return zeros((3,3)) Then in ipython: from myfuncs import * # usually import * is discouraged but this is a reasonable use chris = make_zeros() bob = make_zeros() etc. Kent Please Reply All to reply to the list. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
