Do you want to know how many internal string operations are done inside the Python interpreter? I believe it is not a useful information. There are benchmarks testing the *real performance* of Python. For example: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5602 Les -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
