If you feel that the provided solution doesn't meet your needs then the *most likely* answer is that you have asked the wrong question. Rather than, say, posting a new thread (unless your new question is clearly different and mostly unrelated), the appropriate course of action is to say something like, "Hey, apparently I'm asking the wrong question, because all these answers are about frobnosticating, but I really wanted to foo the baz." If you don't acknowledge that you goofed up, you come across as arrogant or ignorant (or both). -W -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
