Not sure what you mean by "implied". You're returning a tuple formed from three values, and then unpacking that into three destinations. Since, at a technical level, a function can only return one value, returning a tuple is the standard way to return more than one thing. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
