How is 'a' getting set? My first thought, is that a is for some reason a string, instead of a number, and the comparisons aren't doing what you expect. >>> a = "10" >>> a < 1000 False If a is coming from user input, or from a web request or something, make sure it's the correct type. -Oliver. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
