Mark, there exist parallel universes the denizens of which use strange notation e.g. 1.234,56 instead of 1,234.56 and would you believe they use ';' instead of ',' as a list separator ... Excel perfidiously gives them what they expect rather than forcing them to comply with The One True Way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
