Yes, that's exactly what we're doing. As an aside note, the fact that Python is so dynamic allows us to do some really interesting things with sequences: https://github.com/halgari/clojure-py/blob/master/clojure/lang/indexableseq.py These 24 lines of python code allow us to create a seq out of any object in Python that supports .__getitem__ So out-of-the box, you can do treat python strings as sequences: user=> (first "foo") "f" That IndexableSeq works with python lists, tuples, unicode, strings, etc. Timothy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
