Thanks Cameron for the kind offer, but after Paul Ruben made me aware that the initial edit was done by a rogue 'bot, I reverted the page to its prior state. Maybe, if you email Tim, he might welcome you adding his post to your site anyway? - I think its wasted just being available as a newsgroup search, and should at least be available somewhere on the official Python website. Doctest is a great idea that is in harmony with the language it is expressed in. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
