All my python books and references I find on the web have simplistic examples of the IF conditional. A few also provide examples of multiple conditions that are ANDed; e.g., if cond1: if cond2: do_something.
However, I cannot find, nor create by trial-and-error, the syntax for alternative conditions that are ORed; e.g., if cond1 OR if cond2: do_something. I've tried using the C syntax for OR (||) but python complained. I'm sure there's a way to do this rather than using if cond1: elif cond2: both with the same code to execute. Please pass me a pointer so I can learn how to correctly write this. Rich -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
