Correct. My statement was wrong.

You nailed it! Indeed there were all the symptoms of a stressed situation from the very beginning: 1. the OP was unclear and full of misleading information 2. part of the posts were misunderstood, hence causing more confusion than anything else. 3. my code has become a mess of workarounds, being far from pythonic. Now that the delivery date is passed behind me I'll have some time to clean up the mess and get everything straight. Being pragmatic and finding workaround is not bad but the mess should be cleaned up afterwards! Al -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
