Yep. He's free to assume that not one of his friends will be from any culture other than his own. It just happens to be a bigoted viewpoint. I wonder, would people treat it differently if the address book took a traditional binary view of gender, and required that everyone be precisely "male" or "female"? Would that be called bigoted, or is it perfectly reasonable to demand that all of your friends fit this? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
