And I can say that "id" returns a list of digits, but that doesn't make either statement true. The id() function returns a number which (a) never changes for any given object, and (b) will never be the same for any two concurrently-existing objects. It's a proxy for object identity. That's all. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
