Dear Vlastimil, You are right. Your approach will do to me. I was trying Python Doc either I do not know where to check, or I could not find. I am trying to work out. Numbers I can pass, I was checking the last example in Python Docs with "def cheeseshop(kind, *arguments, **keywords):" if that gives me any clue. If you can kindly try. Best Regards, Subhabrata. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
