Yep. So? If you're not using it *at top level*, it's not a problem. I clean up the namespace at the end, so if you use it inside a function, it'll still be available. And most of my scripts don't use 'all' anyway... it's no worse than using 'id' for a database ID. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
