(or IDLE et al.) can just start with

and we could then drop SET_LINENO by default. Am i missing something?
This #! isn't portable; the program is only guaranteed to get one parameter from the #! line ("python" in this example). Some platforms are more forgiving and just use the rest of the command line (or a maximum of 32 characters), but that means you lose the "-g" on too many platforms. The other concerns that have been brought up are fairly important as well. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at beopen.com> BeOpen PythonLabs Team Member
