See http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html which shows the current built-ins for Python. It also shows an equivalent function for all() that should work in 2.4. You can do a check at the beginning of your file by importing the sys module. Something like this: <code> # untested import sys version = sys.version.split(' ')[0] if '2.5' not in version: # use custom all() script </code> HTH Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
