Well sure but it doesn't modify the first object, just creates a new one. There are in general good reasons to do that, for example I can then compose things nicely: num.increment().increment() or I can parallelize operations safely not caring about the order of operations. But while I do this all the time with more functional languages, I don't tend to do exactly the same in Python, because I have the impression that is not worth, but maybe I'm wrong.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
