i see that my example would be (even) clearER with this one-line change: py bug.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Usenet\bug.py", line 5, in <module> map( Func, fooBar( X, Y, X + Y )) TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str attempt to call + with 'abc' , 123.45 <-------------- > i hope that NOW a few of you can see this as a genuine, (reasonable) question. Python seems so perfectly User-friendly that i 'm so curious (puzzled) that it doesn't do the very obvious and easy thing of giving me this info: attempt to call + with 'abc' , 123.45 <-------------- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
