But a better solution, I think, would be to pick a I think you are sticking too much to the examples I posted, where I used functions that are part of Python, so that everybody could run the code and test the issues. I don't use random numbers, so I can't apply what you said. Really, I am looking for a way to test the code while ignoring the output. I don't know if usually it is a bad choice, but in my case is what I want/need. Thanks for the help, Luca -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
