If you don't then you will have problems when the htonl() and ntohl() are available in Python in the socket module, so: 1) i was just pointing the OP to the right place where to find such functions 2) they work just the same way, hence I can't see why the "struct" way should be the preferred one while the "socket" way should be misinformation :P Bye! -- Alan Franzoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Remove .xyz from my email in order to contact me. - GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C77 9DC3 BD5B 3A28 E7BC 921A 0255 42AA FE06 8F3E -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
