Oh my. Would it not be an idea to rename this "else" into a "finally"? As Gabriel points out, the else-block gets executed after the for loop exits *normally*. In that case, is the "else" not semantically misleading? I would surely misunderstand it if I saw it the first time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
