That only times the function. I explicitly mentioned I want both the needed time AND the output. Sadly the quality of the answers on this list is going down. Here I get an alternative that does only half what I want and when writing an alternative for ‘!find’ I am told I could use ‘!find’ (which only works in ipython, not python and which also not works with Windows). -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
