That's odd... :o Crazy, what am i not seeing? :(
print type(WarnTimeout) I suspect it won't be numerical. Where is WarnTimeout assigned its value? Note that in Python 2.x, comparisons between e.g. numbers and strings were allowed, but the ordering was arbitrary. Python 3.x fixes this and instead raises TypeError for such nonsensical comparisons. Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
