You are right. Not very smart. Especially because I use the ‘in’ a little later. It now is: ======================================================================== if not current_platform in accepted_platforms: raise Exception('Got an incompatiple platform: {0}'. format(current_platform)) ======================================================================== And I do not need is_good_platform anymore. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
