Assume nothing. Don't believe anyone who says "always". Insert some print statements and repr() calls to show what's actually there. > I hope however that it's something obvious that a Python guru here > will be able to spot and that this n00b is missing! *IF* the problem is in the code, it would be easier to spot if you had removed large chunks of indentation before posting. Less is more: change "if (foo == 2):" to "if foo == 2:", "foo == True" to "foo", and "foo == False" to "not foo".
