python with all its arbitrary syntactic rules (and oh my god spaces) is not easy to read, at most it is easy to evangelise as easy to read :)

I think that this is as far from Common Lisp as one could get having parenthesis involved

theseb: You are asking impossible questions, and you don't understand the recommendations, so it is very frustrating.

beach: sorry i'm slow....i think i understand why a hashtable is the answer now....if you modify e.g. x=4 in a function those changes will disappear when you leave scope but if x = more complex object like a hash table then changes will survive when you leave scope....is that it?

theseb: x is not a hash table. It is a symbol, and it is used as a key in a hash table.

theseb: My hypothesis is that it is time for you to read about compiler design as opposed to guessing how it might be done.
