Probably because it was never a SyntaxError in the first place. If you execute the code given for T, it gives a TypeError, just as you would expect. Possibly the Original Poster had mistyped something at some point and got a SyntaxError, or more likely he's just using "syntax error" to mean "some exception which I haven't actually looked at". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
