I see your post now, but I didn't notice it at the time I posted. Could be because I am using the noticeable bad Google groups interface that is known for being unreliable. Duplicate solutions on Usenet are almost a given and I consider duplicate solutions a good thing, it means that other people will be able to understand that code. In any case I am not here for glory I am posting under a pseudonym so nobody discovers that I am slacking off at work reading Usen[carrier lost] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
