I feel pretty much the opposite... If a non-string-type has managed to get into my list-of-strings, then something has gone wrong and I would like to know about this potential problem. If you want to do force a conversion before the join, you can use a list comp: ', '.join([str(x) for x in l]) Nick "Explicit is better than Implicit" -- # sigmask || 0.2 || 20030107 || public domain || feed this to a python print reduce(lambda x,y:x+chr(ord(y)-1),' Ojdl!Wbshjti!=obwAcboefstobudi/psh?') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
