You're right, it's not an answer to my actual question, but I had completely forgotten about the 'sentinel' idiom. Many thanks... I was trying to do it with 'itertools', obviously with no luck. The question still stands (how to turn off the buffering), but this is a nice workaround until it gets answered. -- Luis Zarrabeitia (aka Kyrie) Fac. de Matemática y Computación, UH. http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
