I must say, I don't even like the idea of having a 'break', but I kind of like this proposal. However, it may be ambiguous [is that a word?] if the outer and inner for loop over the same object. Weird/unlikely situation, I know... but so is having a deep break :D. -- Luis Zarrabeitia Facultad de Matemática y Computación, UH http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
