Ahh yes. I used the rstrip() in development, printing intermediary output to stdout, so I could see what my input file-to-list looked like (and it looked ugly with all those EOLs). The strip() to the stack is there primarily to remove the indentation but, of course, it can do double duty. > > string.join() is deprecated, ''.join() is preferred. > Well, I'll live with it ;-) fugly as it looks. I'm really finding that Python nudges me into pleasant code. Doing the above in somthing like VB, I would just brute-force it and it would feel right. Brute forcing it in Python ... well, it just feels wrong ... Thanks for the input. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
