It works fine for me. Could you post the smallest complete program (one that defines ext) that displays the behavior and its entire output? As an aside, is 'ext[1] != "wma"' correct or should it be ==? As written, you could collapse the whole thing to 'if ext[1] != "wma":' but I presume it is a typo. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
