Or pass a boolean beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(start>point) Or subscript with an also-missing close-bracket beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(start[point]) Or call a function with an also-missing close-paren beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(start(point)) Or it was just a finger-flub beans, jars, crates = secret_formula(startpoint) :-) -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
