Yes thats what I thought. for-else looks similar to if-else and in if- else, else part is executed only when if part is not executed, but in for-else it has entirely a different job. Thats somewhat confusing, though it will be clear after playing around with it. - dksr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
