It /might/ be in some contexts, but a priori it is not, as it superimposes a truth value on a data type which is otherwise a pretty accurate model of real objects (outside python). One principle of object oriented programming is to bestow the objects with properties reflecting known properties from the domain being modelled. Lists do not have truth values in the application domain, and therefore truth values in the implementation domain is complicated. -- :-- Hans Georg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
