I seem to remember that Antoon supplied one awhile ago (for allowing lists to serve as dictionary keys, that is). That's why I mentioned him in the first place. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I imagine it would raise some issues, like everything does. I'm fairly indifferent to the idea in any case; I'm just saying I wouldn't object if lists could function as dictionary keys. It would save that casting step I was talking about. -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
