Yes, Python does short-circuit evaluation, from left-to-right http://docs.python.org/tut/node7.html#SECTION007700000000000000000 That means that if <condition1> returns false, condition[2|3] will not be evaluated (and similarly, if condition2 returns false, condition3 won't be evaluated). -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
