But Jason just said that function calls are not allowed. ( We -- actually, he listed what was allowed, and function calls were definitely not among them. ) PEP 215's examples don't agree with the limitations in it's security section, and the proposal being discussed seems to be shifting under out feet. That's the reason I got the proposals given in the previous discussion of PEP 215 and PEP 215 itself confused. -- Steve
