I think it's okay if the "it" in question is the Python interpreter, as "it" is the thing that would be calling __pos__(). On the other hand, trying to sort out all the definitions of "it" in the above is probably at this point a rather Clintonesque endeavour. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
