Does that mean that, because there is an 'os' module, Python is trying to compete with Linux and Windows? This is starting to feel like a troll, but JUST IN CASE you are really serious about wanting to get work done with Python, rather than complaining about how it is not perfect, I offer the following snippet which will show you how you can test the results of a sum() to see if there were any items in the list: >>> class MyZero(int): ... pass ... >>> zero = MyZero() >>> x=sum([], zero) >>> isinstance(x,MyZero) True >>> x = sum([1,2,3], zero) >>> isinstance(x,MyZero) False >>> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
