And knowing that, why not take more care with the tone of your original post, or do more searching and/or lurking before posting? Your original post *could* be paraphrased as: I'm new to Python, Python doesn't have X, X is obviously a great feature can't you give me X in Python? P.S. Its obviously been debated before but I haven't looked - send me a link. I know this might start a flame war, but I'll ask anyway. And sure enough, you then goad a regular *contributor* to comp.lang.python . I suggest you rephrase your question in a less confrontational tone but only if you are interested in civil answers. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
