It already does mean something non-contradictory. This is comp.lang.python (or python-list), not alt.english.remedial. If you start from the wrong premise, as Steve is doing, then even the most obvious of things can be rendered opaque and confusing. As I said, I've provided a solution to the problem, what more do you want? This feels very much like you're arguing for argument's sake, which is a game I'm not willing to play along with for much longer. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
