At the command prompt: >>> dir('') # result edited for clarity [ ... 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', ... ] Then do this: >>> help(''.islower) and read the text it provides. Then experiment on the command line: >>> 'abcd1234'.islower() True >>> 'aBcd1234'.islower() False Then come back to us if they aren't suitable, and tell us WHY they aren't suitable. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
