if you're using examples from the 2.3.5 documentation, maybe you shouldn't run them under 1.5.2... (the code you included runs just fine on Python 2.3 and 2.4 on my machine. under Python 2.0 and 2.1 and 2.2, it complains about a missing "walk" function. in Python 1.5.2, it gives a syntax error that looks a lot like the one you included, except that you didn't include the actual error message...) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
