OT: for short snippets like this, you should just paste it in the post rather than using codepad """ y = v1,var1,v3,v2,var2,period print y """ is not the same as """ print v1,var1,v3,v2,var2,period """ the first code creates a tuple, assign it to y, then prints the tuple; the latter prints the bunch of items separated with space. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
