For a while now, I've been wondering whether it would be worth having a construct purely for creating little namespaces, instead of abusing a class for this. I've been thinking about an 'instance' statement that creates an instance of a class: instance mything(MyClass): # attribute assignments go here Maybe this would be a use for the proposal a while back where: 'statement' name(args): ... implied name = 'statement'("name", args, namespace) [...]

I like that generalization (since a class definition statement currently does about the same anyway).

However, please post that to the python-3000 list as this would be a change for Python 3.

Cheers, Georg
