No, you are either explaining it the wrong way or you have been fallen for a common misinterpretation of the del statement. The del statement only removes the object from the current scope. This means it decreases the reference count by one. It does *not* remove the object. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
