Easiest way: switch to C++ There is no preprocessor in Python, and no addresses. There are some places you could fake such stuff, but not the expression you have. If I HAD to do something like this for Python, I'd write a preprocessor. But one reason I came to Python is its elegance, and a preprocessor isn't elegant. -- DaveA _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
