- or it's possible to be an experienced C and C++ programmer and have your mind just blank out about which things you can do in C and which were added in C++, especially when you've been up all night and are wired on energy drinks. Mea culpa. My brain looked at that and thought it was a member function, which is a C++ feature, and forgot that it could be a straight-up function pointer, which is a C feature. Paul's correct, I'm wrong. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
