One I've had to debug... >>> text = 'abcdef' >>> if text.find('abc'): print 'found it!' # Nothing prints as bool(0) is False >>> if text.find('bob'): print 'found it!' found it! Someone new who hasn't read the docs might try this, but then I guess it's not really a gotcha if they haven't bothered doing that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
