Yes, but that's not getting rid of the ugliness, just tucking away from sight :) *I* would know it's still there. IMHO a 'peek' method in these container types (maybe not all iterables because in some cases iter(it).next() changes the state of it, eg when it is an iterator itself). -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
