1) the tutor list is really slow. but thanks. 2) Thanks Brain, i was missing the string bit. the code i posted (opps) was not exactly where i was having problems, it just looked like it.
also thanks for the 'in' test, that will come in handy. i am using chain because i need to do something different for each twest. is there a better way to return a tuple for each choice ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
