I understand, but this means starting already to put (tiny) inconsistencies into Python 3.0... Unrelated: Ruby and Lisp use ? and ! at the end of the function/method names to denote a predicate or a function that mutates in place (With them the list.sort() may be called list.sort!() ). Using Python I usually put an Q at the end of the name for this purpose. Can Py 3.0 support names ending with "?" too? Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
