Either I'm misunderstanding what you mean or you need to get a clue about what Python can already do before you go around making suggestions for what Python needs. Lists have supported "in" tests since at least version 1.5.2: Python 1.5.2 (#1, Nov 6 1999, 14:53:40) [C] on sco_sv3 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> if 3 in [1,2,3]: print "Yup, got it!" ... Yup, got it! This feature may be older than version 1.5.2, but this is the oldest version that I still have running anywhere. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
