This is really bad advice, as long as you don't explain why it "usually" works (and often enough not). This for example won't work: >>> False or '' and 0 '' The reason is that the if-value has to be bool(v) == True, otherwise the short-circuiting of the and will prevent the 0 from being returned. So in general, _don't_ use this! Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
