No. An interactive session is your friend. You can concatenate all sorts of things, not just strings: >>> [2, 3, 4] + [5] [2, 3, 4, 5] >>> (2, 3, 4,) + (5,) (2, 3, 4, 5) What should 4 + "5" give you? 9 or "45"? Your description of the problem was *utterly* wrong. You said you get an error when you try to print LatInt; but that's not true, is it? print LatInt works fine, I bet. If you had actually posted the traceback, rather than trying to describe it in your own words, your problem would have been solved after one post. In other words, you sent us all on a wild goose chase. But the main thing is, the traceback was telling you exactly what was wrong. Listen to it, it knows. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
