So what? Lists, dicts and sets trade time for space: they are generally over-allocated to ensure a certainly level of performance. The language designers are perfectly permitted to make that choice. If somebody wants to make another choice they can design their own language, or write their own data structures, or put in a bug report and hope to influence the language designers to change their minds. Why should strings be treated any differently? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
