The original module was like this - it comes about through the C convention of null-terminated strings (the module is coded in C). It would have been fairly involved to removed the restriction, and I would have run the risk of introducing subtle breakage for a feature nobody had asked for in the years we were maintaining the module outside the Python core... 8-) -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
