Do you know that these shortcuts are optimizations, or are you just assuming it takes less time to do the comparison than it would for the CPU to blast bits around? I have no idea whether your shortcuts are optimizations or pessimizations. I'm just asking whether you know, or if you are making assumptions. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
