It obviously won't. All it will do, is that it will enable people on this group, who may read the manual, to tell people who complain, to RTFM. I agree that it would be a good idea to make it an error, or a warning - "this might not do what you think it does", or an "are you sure?" exception. :-) - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
