I think this was pretty obvious. What I wonder is *why* you want/think
you need to do such a thing  -I don't mean there can't be no good reason
to do so, but this has to be a pretty uncommon use case, and some of the
gurus here may point you to (possibly other and possibly better)
solutions if you give a bit more context.

And BTW, please, lauch your python shell and type 'import this', then
read carefully.
