I like the tuple-ness feel of it and frequently unpack multiple values in for loops. I also like the visual feel, it makes it easy to see what is being unpacked and what is the source. "for (one, two, three) in somelist:" versus "for one, two, three in sometlist:" Even with a colorizing editor (emacs) I find the first version easier to read. YMMV. -Jack -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
