That is handy. Actually, I really like it when you can work with sets of
objects, rather than doing the explicit looping all the time. It just
goes to show you that OO design is not always the best answer. Now the
question is: What namespace should set() live in? pylab.set() works for me.
I'm now working on a Fink-free OS-X install, which is proving to be
quite a chore. I'll report here when I'm done.
