Problem with that is that it'll still call do_get immediately. You'd have to somehow defer this call until it's actually _used_, which is why I dropped a mention of "converting to str?" - which would presumably be a __str__ method. But I still don't like the API. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
