I'm aware of what Python does, just saying I can sympathize with the sentiment that explicit conversions would make more sense. I wouldn't change it in Python since it's what we're all used to, but if I were designing a language from scratch I'd probably make it explicit. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
