Good question. It seems that comprehension in this case relates to comprehensiveness - i.e. a note of how complete a set is. From the list at http://www.onelook.com/?w=comprehension&ls=a check out in particular Merriam-Webster meanings 2a and 2b, and Wikipedia for comprehension (logic). -- HTH, James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
