Message: [QUOTE="Michele Simionato, post: 3685927"] Many times (probably most times) you can avoid code generation and use classes or higher order functions instead. Actually I don't like code generation techniques in Python and other languages. I would make an exception for Lisp-like languages, however, since there you a pretty powerful macro mechanism that in some cases can be better than using higher order functions, especially if performance is important. I say something more in the latest episode of my "Adventures of a Pythonista in Schemeland" which some of you may find interesting: [URL]http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=240836[/URL] M.
