If you want to then >> that'd be cool :-). That would be nice, but to be fair, python itself doesn't do it either: >>> l = range(10) >>> l[12] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> IndexError: list index out of range Though Python's standard error messages are lacking in a lot of places... -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
