The existence of list comprehensions are the reason that these functions are going away, so they aren't likely to be next. It's all part of "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." Personally, I hope they wind up in a "functional" module, so you can add "from functional import *" to the top of your scripts, and keep doing exactly what you've been doing. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
