the I and F functions? add newlines to them, and replace that ugly-but- generally-accepted "".join thing with a proper string.join call, split the second expression into two subexpressions if necessary, and they'll look a lot better. or did you mean the call to I? did you look at it in a syntax-coloring editor? </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
