I have to look twice to see that the operands are merely m0 and m1 and not [m0] and [m1]. > m = m0 ]outer*[ m1 > m = m0]outer*[m1 That just looks weird. Here is a thought: Python already supports an unlimited number of operators, if you write them in prefix notation: inner_product(m0, m1) outer_product(m0, m1) etc. Here is some syntax that I don't object to, although that's not saying much. In mathematics, there are operators of a plus sign within a circle, multiply sign within a circle, etc. The closest we can get in plain ASCII would be: m0(+)m1 m0(*)m1 m0(-)m1 etc. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
