Strings effectively have an implicit character at the end that's less than any other character. Easy fix: Append a character that's greater than any other. So "" < "A" becomes "\xFF" > "\xBE\xFF". Still not going to be particularly efficient. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
