Thanks. I did miss that parenthetical comment in para 6.15, and that would have been the correct place to look, since it appears that operators are not parts of expressions, but rather separate them. Is that the "obvious expectation from mathematics," though? Given that 3 5 4 (i.e.: 4**5**3) is transitive, I would have expected Python to exhibit more consistency with the other operators. I guess that is one of the foolish consistencies that comprise the hobgoblins of my little mind, though. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
