I think the indexes of the documentation are quite good: http://docs.python.org/lib/genindex.html http://docs.python.org/ref/genindex.html First occurance of "default" in the reference index leads to the information about default parameters and that they are executed once, when the ``def`` statement is executed: http://docs.python.org/ref/function.html#l2h-634 Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
