If that's not in a function, "return" makes no sense, as the SyntaxError will have told you. As to the actual check, that's isalpha(), not alpha(), as you can see from the docs. Suggestion: Choose subject lines that reflect the subject matter being discussed. "Why doesn't this work" isn't very helpful. :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
