This is one of those little things that happens in language evolution; not everything gets done right the first time. But Python is developed by volunteers: if you want this fixed, the first step is to submit a bug report on SF (or go ahead and submit a patch if you have the expertise). (I'm quite comfortable channeling Guido and other developers in saying a patch will get accepted.) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Don't listen to schmucks on USENET when making legal decisions.
