I've found myself mimicing this again and again in c, and was pleased to find it in python and use it regularely. int i for (i = 0 ; i < 10 ; ++i) blah if i == 10 not_found_tasks() The discussion of words is silly. My surprise about "else following a for loop.... what the heck ...." lasted excactly as long as it takes to read this sentence. tpt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
