Why do you think it's ugly? It's a function that returns an int, and it provides a default value which is different from the default value of the int constructor. It's a really simple function, and it has an equally simple implementation, and it's an obvious way to do it. Not the *one* obvious way, because subclassing int is equally obvious, but still obvious. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
