It's possible, but extremely unlikely that it will ever happen. assert is not a function, but a statement (like print). Statements don't use parentheses; when you use parentheses, it considers that a tuple. For example, if you try this with print: print ("hello","world") you see that in prints out a tuple value, rather than treating "hello" and "world" as arguments. Same thing with assert. -- CARL BANKS -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
