Under what possible circumstances would you prefer this code to the built- in str.join method? Particularly since the code isn't even correct, as it adds a spurious tab character at the beginning of the result string. (By the way, your solution, to call res.strip(), is incorrect, as it removes too much.) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
