I think this was pretty obvious. What I wonder is *why* you want/think you need to do such a thing -I don't mean there can't be no good reason to do so, but this has to be a pretty uncommon use case, and some of the gurus here may point you to (possibly other and possibly better) solutions if you give a bit more context. And BTW, please, lauch your python shell and type 'import this', then read carefully. > The > whole point is to avoid the normal dictionary semantics, Yes, but *why ?* -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
