Correct. However, the two meanings of "comprehension" have a common etymological ancestor. The literal meaning in Latin was "taking in", "gathering". Both "take in" and "gather" have similar metaphorical meanings in Modern English, as well. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
