If I have a list called "stuff" with three elements in it, is "stuff[1]" a variable? What if I return that list from a function called get_stuff()? Is get_stuff()[1] a variable? Because in Python, get_stuff()[1] is certainly going to be an object. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
