Space saving where? Why would you have any credit card numbers stored in any application? Even a credit card company isn't going to write code that has the numbers stored as *literals*! There's only one place I can think of right now where you might want that: in automated tests for code that processes credit card numbers. And you definitely do not need to "save space" in that situation... -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
