So from my point of view it's like seeing 'epsilon' stuck in the middle of some code. It's not as if I'm new to programming either, I've been writing software professionally since the early 1970s, now retired. I have no formal computer training, there wasn't much in the way of university courses on computing in the 1960s, I have a degree in Electrical Engineering. Maybe that's why 'lambda' means nothing to me! :-) -- Chris Green ยท -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
