Well, Python isn't Prolog either... :)

What I really want is to be able to say:

>>> name("michal")
>>> name("neil")
>>> name(X)
>>> X
["michal", "neil"]

I suspect I'll probably wind up using:

>>> import plato
>>> X = plato.Var()
>>>
>>> plato.name("michal")
>>> plato.name("neil")
>>> plato.name(X)
>>> X
["michal", "neil"]

Which is fine by me. I'm all for declaring variables anyway. I'm just
wondering if it's possible to not have to do it, without doing TOO
much work.. :)
