are you suggesting slowing things down just because of a bug in the documentation ? you cannot return an uninitialized list object to Python anyway, so there's no need to add extra checks to a function that's *documented* to be the equivalent of a *Python-level* sequence assignment. the "I spent time debugging this, so now everyone should suffer" approach doesn't strike me as very Pythonic. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
