But as soon as we want a string that doesn't correspond to any pre-defined constants, we're hosed. For example, there isn't a constant that would correspond to this Perl-ism: print l ... w, e ... j, L ... W, E ... J, "\n"; -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] God bless you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
