A harder question would have been if you asked where 'exit()', 'quit()' are documented. For some reason they are hidden under "Built-in constants" (even though the documentation includes the function call syntax) alongside 'license' and 'credits' which are documented without the parentheses but are also callable. All but 'credits' behave similarly having a repr that gives you instructions to call them and doing something different when you do call them. 'credits' just gives you the same text whether or not you call it. -- Duncan Booth http://kupuguy.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
