Without more detail (i.e. the complete code or a sizable and relevant chunk of it, pkus the copied error message) it's impossible to say exactly what was happening. However I am pretty confident that the 2.5.21 compiler will immediately report an unopened closing parenthesis as a syntax error. >>> something = "abc".replace("c"), "d") File "<stdin>", line 1 something = "abc".replace("c"), "d") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> So, what was the problem again? Give us a little more detail, please. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden Sorry, the dog ate my .sigline -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
