I believe that the "is-obsession" has its roots on the old C-ish confusion about comparing pointers vs. actual contents pointed by them. That's about the same here, except that Python isn't C, and that object references in Python behave in a sane way :-) making "is" unnecessary most of the time. -- Carlos Ribeiro Consultoria em Projetos blog: http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com blog: http://pythonnotes.blogspot.com mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
