Yeah, I said it was silly. On the other hand, the Linux box is a lot faster than the Windows box I'm using, and I do get the same result no matter what Python version I'm using... (and in this context, neither 262144 nor 1789772 are random numbers...) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
