Thank you guys! you gave me valuable insights! But regarding my original post, I don't know why for the past two days I was looking at the code *only* this way> if ( not allow_zero and abs(x) ) < sys.float_info.epsilon: I feel so stupid now :-/, may be it's the new syntax confusing me :)! Thanks again guys. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
