Overheard yesterday: "Our conversation was recursing..." I don't know what they were talking about, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the technical details of a function's implementation, given that one of the people concerned was anything but a computer programmer (I don't know about the other). It's a perfectly good word, useful in many contexts. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
