I think in the mind-set that dislikes relying on boolean conversion of lists, relying on boolean conversion of numbers is just as evil. In this mindset (IIUC), you *have* to have an expression that is either True or False in a boolean test (if and while). Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
