Jason already showed you the answer, but significantly he also showed you how to find out for yourself. Use the >>> prompt. Its what its there for. For some reason people use the >>> prompt wehen starting out in Python then seem to forget it exists. But the ability to try out little bits of code interactively as you develop code is one of Pythons most powerful features. One that it shares with Lisp Ruby and Smalltalk but surprisingly few other languages... For those kinds of quiestions its usually much faster to just try it than it is to post a question to the list! -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
