Exactly! One sure sign of somebody trying to write C in Python is when they loop over a list by doing for i in range (len (myList)): doSomethingWith (myList[i]) or when they laboriously check for every possible error condition before performing an operation instead of just doing it and catching the exception. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
