That's true, I didn't explicitly say that the library should be documented. Nor did I say that it shouldn't be riddled with bugs. There's little practical difference between a buggy library and one that raises unexpected (i.e. undocumented) exceptions either. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
