I NEVER said building EMPTY tuples was the cause of my rant. My complaint (an oddly enough the title of this thread!) concerns the fact that Python treats 0 as False and every integer above and below 0 as True. Which is another example of how *some* aspects of Python support bad coding styles. The only reason i used the tuple was so that my conditional logic worked as expected. *Stephen* offered a solution in the form of using tuples within the conditional expression. I countered his solution by showing that creating tuples in a conditional expression is slower that testing for bool-inity. *Steven*, Please read the thread completely before making off hand comments else you could make a complete fool of yourself! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
