The difference doesn't exist anymore for CPython (if you join a lot of strings), but for Jython (and several other dialects), the fastest way to join strings is still "".join(), because there are no optimizations on a += b and the likes of it (replacement for the % operator, e.g.). --- Heiko. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
