If you write self.assert_(type(result) is Decimal) on failure you will get an uninformative message like "assertion failed" If you write self.assertEqual(type(result), Decimal) you will get an error more like "float != Decimal" Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
