It doesn't mention it because those exceptions don't actually have anything to do with the id() function. They're just what happens any time an unbound variable name is evaluated, in any context. The exact same thing could be said about any Python function in existence that takes at least one argument. Cheers, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
