I see, thanks for the clarification. I will make the point though that this makes python 3.0 unsuited for anyone who has to process data. One could live with slowdowns of say 20-50 percent, to get the goodies that 3.0 offers, but when a process that takes 1 second suddenly starts to take 10, it is makes the situation untenable. best, Istvan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
