Did you notice the error: ... RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded You can't recurse forever! >>> import sys >>> sys.getrecursionlimit() 1000 You can set it a little higher (sys.setrecursionlimit) if you want to make this particular example work, but you'll see many disclaimers on doing this. -- _ _ ___ |V|icah |- lliott http://micah.elliott.name [EMAIL PROTECTED] " " """ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
