Yeah, this is what i am talking about. It seems that keywords (if, 
while, for, etc) cannot be renamed at all. Not easily at least without 
recompiling Python from source. Same thing with error messages.

What i need is not an internationalized version of python in a specific 
language... but a simple way to let the teacher do it by 
himself/herself. Since python will be embedded in my application i could 
also load this via a text-file or XML file... but it seems that no API 
has been made available to solve this problem.

Logo is the only language i know that lets the user do this in a very 
simple way, that's why i brought it as example of what i need. In Logo 
every identifier can be changed with a simple startup file and every 
error message can be personalized by editing a text file. This allows 
any user/parent/teacher to personalize the language for their kids. What 
i need is an API that lets my application do something similar to the 
python library. Unfortunately it seems that there is no easy way to do it.

Didn't know it, thank you. Now i need to understand if this PDB module 
can be used from the application that is embedding pythong (so that i 
can build a simple IDE to set breakpoints, show the current 
execution-line, skip it, etc.

Thanx,
