the authoritative coding style guide is pep 8: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html Of course, there are style points that are debatable, but for comments, you should definitely be using triple-quotes. Pep 8 points you to pep 257, which is all about docstrings: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0257.html Peace Bill Mill bill.mill at gmail.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
