Let's say, in the future, there is a version 3; the code could become: if version == 3: # new code to handle version 3 data elif version == 2: # code to handle version 2 data # this is the current contents else: # error message, as right now. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
