It sure doesn't get any more obivous than... "string1" + "string2"
Although i much prefer string formatting to concatenation for almost all cases except the most simple. This auto-magic conacatenation of strings is unintuitive and completely moronic if you ask my opinion. I blow chunks when i see this type of code, and the result from it, and so should my interpretor! "string1" "string2" --> syntax error you moron! If you are wanting to create shortcuts, do them where they make sense and can serve a useful purpose... t = ('1' "word" 33.3) l = [1 2 3 (4 5)] d = {keyname:value keyname:value etc...} KISS people! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
