That's all well and good, but base 'e' is kind of complicated. Some of us were using base 10, and others took Tim's lead and were using base 2: >>> print math.exp(((math.log(1)/math.log(2) - math.log(2)/math.log(2)) + >>> (math.log(1)/math.log(2) - math.log(2)/math.log(2)))*math.log(2)) 0.25 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
