Hi, Do you know a good way to avoid running into this problem? It makes sense to suggest not calling variables the same names as built-in functions, but that's hard for a new python programmer who doesn't already know what all the built-in functions are. Over time a programmer will learn which names to avoid, but it's a bit of a pitfall early on.
It's only really a pitfall if you try to use the built-in after you've redefined it. That's the thing to keep an eye open for. -- Rhodri James *-* Wildebeest Herder to the Masses -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
