I had considered using exec as a way of getting round it, but it seems
like quite a hack to get what I want (wrapping code in a string to
prevent Python accessing it properly).

Mind you, considering what I want to do, I suppose hacking is really
the only feasible solution. :)

Doing things via exec would ultimately mean that I couldn't take
advantage of PyChecker...

Thanks for the suggestion though...
Allan.
