Yeah, that's what the earlier version had. I tried to bypass it but as you pointed out, it's a syntax error. The code I posted also has a deliberate syntax error (until Python 2.5), namely the use of the new conditional expression syntax (PEP 308). That could be worked around of course. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
