How's that a problem? Python has the same: memory.get(1234) will return a bit of memory, or None if it can't get any. Not materially different. Remember, C doesn't have exceptions. In C++, the 'new' operator will throw an exception if it can't provide memory. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
