Me, too. Which is, I suspect, evidence for the incompleteness of our Pythonhood. As Peter Hansen already hinted in this thread, an appetite for the increment and related operators probably is a symptom that there's an opportunity nearby to use an iterator or string method or such. C++ and Java wish they had it so good. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
