The negative integers are being descriminated against! I demand justice! def integers(): yield 0 x = 1 while True: yield x yield -x x += 1 ... which is also not a bad demonstration of how the integers are countably infinite. -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun. -- Mao Zedong, 1898-1976 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
