Memoize is certainly a readily approachable example. But the factorial example on the wiki has a defect. It incorrectly calculates factorial(0) as 0, when it should be 1. I don't know how to edit the "inline" code in the wiki, but if someone out there knows how, consider changing: if n < 2: return n to: if n < 2: return 1 Have a nice day! --dang -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
