Almost there! :) None is a singleton, not a type; you don't need to check type(author_brand) but rather its identity. Use "author_brand is not None" for your condition and it should work like you're expecting. In this case, you can actually just use "author_brand" as your condition (no quotes, of course), as None evaluates as false. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
