Speaking of spam, googlegroups, and other annoyances, please don't CC python-list@python.org as well as posting to the newsgroup. The newsgroup is already automatically mirrored by the mailing list, and vice versa, so by CCing all you do is needlessly, and annoyingly, duplicate your message. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
