There's almost certainly a way to accomplish your goal of simplifying your giant nested if statements. It just doesn't involve pointers. Perhaps if you mocked up a representative example for us to look at and play with, someone could come up with a suggestion. For instance, if your set of if statements is emulating what would be done with a case statement in other languages, dictionary based dispatch may be a cleaner way to do the same thing in python. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
