Hmm. I'm surprised this slight distinction was worth keeping two format codes that otherwise do the same thing. Is there an actual need for these due to Python being implemented behind the scenes in C? -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
