Well, I wasn't so much trying to point out an awkwardness as I was asking if anyone really *found* it awkward. And of course, my question also raises the question of whether or not it's good programming to simply want to do something a certain number of times. I suppose that situation may come up, but I wonder if it can be implemented in a more significant way than simply doing something X number of times. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
