I agree; it's a common flaw with lots of languages, not just Python. I'd be inclined to use something like: FOR 8 TIMES DO <statement>. or: REPEAT <statement> FOR 8 TIMES. as a compromise between readability and machine-parsability. If anyone has other suggestions, please post them here and I'll implement one of them next weekend in Flaming Thunder. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
