I thought G would be using that function a lot. Also, what is the replacement of reduce? I think I remember seeing somewhere that lists comprehension would be (but also remember the advise that reduce will be quicker). > Certainly has_key will be > the most common of those listed above (but trivial to fix). dict.has_key(key) becomes key in dict (correct?) > apply > will be common in old code from the time of Python 1.5.2.

What is the replacement for this one? tia, ./alex -- .w( the_mindstorm )p. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
