You could read the module's source code - that's one of the coolest benefits of open source, you can learn from someone else's implementation. Your posts, your replies particularly, are showing the increasingly-annoying fingerprints of Google Groups. Look at how they appear to us: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-November/661217.html Note the double-spaced quoted text, and the unwrapped lines. Please do not use Google Groups, as it's nearly impossible to use without creating obnoxious posts. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
