Thanks for the ideas.  I think my coworkers might kill me if I
programmed this way, though.

How do I use this for local variables?  Like so?

   import letset
   class Locals: pass

   def add10(x):
      l = Locals()
      letset.setup(l)   
      l.let.y = 10
      return x + l.y

Seems kind of cumbersome and slow and doesn't handle variable "x".
