Fine I"ll answer my own question. Python _does not_ support implicit size in struct formatting rules. sizes are explicit meaning that you must "compute" the size you require. a* or A* would translate to 10s for example where you want a string with a size of 10. cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
