I think Brian, from context, that the OP was Vikas. I agree, however, it was a tad less friendly than normal especially considering the low ball odds of getting a definite hit from searching for "::="... I have enough trouble searching for .NET... But then, we all have bad days, wherein a particular question invokes in us a flame/answer, and we regret it almost as soon as sent. Also, with regard to the Python docs... they aren't very newbie friendly, not really intended for the nubs. It's taken me a year to learn how to extract useful information from them. The trick of "read them really carefully, because the important bits usually aren't bullet-pointed for you" is the best one. Which reminds me of why Powerpoint is considered harmful. regards, Liam Clarke _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
