In Mikhail's defense, this is a reasonably elegant solution to the age-old problem of "I forgot a comma, now two of my entries got joined implicitly". It automatically makes multiple entries, and if you WANT joined entries, you would have to request that explicitly with the + operator or a line continuation backslash. Oh wait, these things aren't actual expressions, so you probably can't do either of those things... hmm. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
