Why don't you tell us what you are actually trying to achieve and we can see if we can come up with a more pythonic solution? The fact that you are running into limits of the language like this as a new python programmer probably means you aren't thinking in python yet. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
