If the key (the first argument) already exists in the dictionary, the corresponding value is returned. If the key does not exist in the dictionary, it is stored in the dictionary and bound to the second argument, and then that second argument is returned as the value. (I always have to ignore the name to think about how it works, or it gets in the way of my understanding it. The name makes fairly little sense to me.) -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
