It does look cool on paper. You can "see" the flow of data. Everything's type-safe - unlike C's scanf family (though, again, sscanf in a high level language can get around that problem). The only problem is, it doesn't actually help much in code. It's snazzy but not all that useful. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
