Well, you probably wouldn't deliberately, but if you have code like this: types = [type(x) for x in list_of_objects] # later on... for t in types: instance = t() do_something_with(instance) it would be nice if it didn't explode when list_of_objects contains None. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
