Grrk. I think that I see Python's problem - and it is Python's problem, not mine or that of any of the other people who ask related questions. The terms "heterogeneous" and "homogeneous" are being used in an extremely specialised, unconventional and restricted way, without any kind of hint in the documentation that this is so. It isn't an UNREASONABLE use, but assuredly will NOT spring to the mind of anyone who sees the terms, most especially if they are familiar with their use in other areas of computing and mathematics. But, given that meaning, I now understand your point. Regards, Nick Maclaren. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
