No, you're right, I also somehow missed the point. I believed "ยป" to be "printable" (opposed to control char's) but technically speaking, the consensus is that "printable" restricts to 7-bit-ascii (in Python, string.printable does not even change if you change the locale setting, contrary to string.letters; this is a bit unclear in the Python docs). Mark's point was that his solution was purely 7-bit-ascii printable and as such it was good although it was one byte more. In the next contest, there should be subcategories for solutions that are 7-bit-printable and/or have no imports. -- Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
