Added in Python 2.4, it's actually a generator expression as the sole argument to a generic dict() constructor. Think of the generator expression as sort of like the list comprehension that it resembles, minus the square brackets, but which doesn't have to create the entire list before the dict() constructor starts to consume the elements. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
