Note also on both of these that I assumed that None is not a reasonable value for either of those. In fact, I also assume that an empty string is not a reasonable value. If I didn't like the latter assumption, I'd have used tests like if host is None: > > IF it can also be written in one-line afteer the excpect would be even > better. Call me persistent but when i can write somethign in 1-line i > wou;d prefer it over 3-lines. Ridiculous. But if you like code golf, you can always do: city, host = "Άγνωστη Πόλη", "Άγνωστη Προέλευση" You should study APL. Many functions were written in one line, with twenty lines of explanation. The function itself was considered unreadable nonsense. And if a function stopped working, general wisdom was to throw it out, and re-implement the explanation. I studied it briefly in class in 1970, and have no idea if there are current implementations. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
