"Oh come on. It's basic arithmetic. You should be able to add 7 and 7... the result's 14!" "But it's so confusing. Why can't it be 16? It'd be more convenient for me if it were 16." "This is just how arithmetic works." "But it's still confusing!" At some point, you have to simply accept that this is how the system works.. or use a different system. (Octal maybe.) If you are perpetually confused by Python, you need to either learn how Python works, or use something else. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
