http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-are-default-values-shared-between-objects Since you got bitten by this, you may also find it useful to take a look at one of the pages that talks about common python problems, like http://zephyrfalcon.org/labs/python_pitfalls.html or http://www.ferg.org/projects/python_gotchas.html (both of which mention the problems with mutable default arguments). -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
