functools isn't in the standard library??? *wink* Seriously, I think Guido meant "built-ins". Since I don't agree with him that reduce() is hard to read, I disagree that accumulators are easier to use. But since reduce is only an import away, I'm satisfied. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
