Very interesting, thank you. I think 'pattern matching' and I automatically think 'regular expressions'. I did already find that it speeds things up to pre-test a line like if 'bets' or 'calls' or 'raises' in line: run the appropriate re's which isn't very pretty at all, and it seems I didn't manage to take the next steps to doing aways with the re's altogether. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
