Hi,
I've hit a corner case that I can explain to myself *why* it happens, both under python 2.3 and python 2.4, but the following inconsistency makes me wonder if I should log it as a bug: First the behaviour that isn't unexpected: >>> a=["hello"] >>> a = a + "world" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list >>> Which is pretty what I'd expect. However if we do this just slightly differently: >>> a = ["hello"] >>> a += "world" >>> a ['hello', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'] We get completely different behaviour. This strikes me as a bug - should I log it as one, or is there a good reason for this behaviour? Regards, Michael. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
