Depends on who is parsing it. If a computer, possibly a few micro-seconds (if the Python byte-code generator doesn't optimize it away). If a human, then it is slower by at least a second. Since I prefer to optimize on my time rather than CPU time, I'd prefer the first version Albert -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
