To be clear, the comment "...(the result would be identical)" is indicative that the result would be identical, meaning "exactly the same". Anyway, thanks for the link. And I suppose checking Python 3 for implementation would be a good prior step as well! Sadly, "yield from" is not in python 2.7, but it's presence in python 3.3 renders my proposal dead as a parrot without a liver. Regards, Ken -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
