If y really is is a string, I think it's likely that the line you came across was a typo. In the case you give above, there's no difference at the end between x and y. If y had length other than 1, the second line would raise an exception, so it's not the same as plain "x = y". But if that's the intended effect, it's a daft way to write it. -M- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
