Obviously, as is "sticking a gun in your mouth is perfectly fine, as long as you understand that pulling the trigger will yield a large hole in the back of your skull." My reading of the OP's post was that shared attributes were not desired. -tom! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
