=> Works great until one of the values changes in size. Slightly off-topic, but still sort of related (talking about the size of things), I started picking 1e+30 as my "really big" some time back because the repr of 1e+99 required more than a glance when it appeared in printed output:
>>> repr(1e+30) '1e+30' >>> repr(1e+99) '9.9999999999999997e+98' This problem was fixed in 2.7 (and presumably in 3.something as well), but it used to be a problem. :-) Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
