This is one of the single major frustrations I have with Python and a important source of bugs for me. Here is a typical situation for i, j in visited: a[i, j] = 1 for i in range(rows): a[i, 0] = 1 for j in range(columns): a[0, i] = 1 As you see the third loop has a bug (I am actually mixing two logics: 1) using i for rows and j for columns 2) using i for the first iterator and j for the second). The result is a buggy code that is tolerated by Python. In C++ or Perl I don't have this problem. I wonder whether other people share this opinion and if we have ever had PEPs trying to address that... Marko -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
