when you write x[i], the interpreter makes no assumptions about x and i and len(x); it just calls the corresponding method (__getitem__), either directly, or via a C-level internal slot. there's no way to generate the error message you want in a single place without changing the semantics of x[i]. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
