Hi Sean, Sorry for straying away from the original poster's question, but do you know why apply() is being deprecated? This is new to me! ... ok, I see some discussion on it: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2004-October/025450.html And I now see the reference to it in the "Code Migration and Modernization" PEP 290: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0290.html#replace-apply-with-a-direct-function-call Wow, this is somewhat of a shock to me, that the syntactic sugar approach is the preferred approach to "apply" in Python. Ok, thanks for letting me know. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
