You're using False to represent a down-vote and you want down-votes to count as -1, so you would count a False value as -1. Now why don't you just use 1 and -1 to represent the votes instead of True and False? Then you won't need to worry about this conversion step. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
