22/7 is no worse than 3.14, though. Sure, 355/113 is closer still, but how often do really need more accuracy than 22/7? 3.142857 vs 3.141593 - it's 0.04% out, versus 3.14 which is 0.05% out. Anyway, 355/113 makes a really awkward date to celebrate. :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
