Hmmm, yeah, I was being sloppy in my description. Definitely would have gotten points off in physics class for being so sloppy :-) No, there's not always two digits before the decimal. Could be anywhere from 0 to 3 digits before. What I'm really after is how many digits are after the decimal point. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
