No I gave an example, you would implement differently. But even if you think my example is bad, that would make it a bad argument for tuples having list methods. That is not the same as being a good argument against tuples having list methods. The trouble is to really convince would probably require a complete worked out module, but then I don't have the time to come up with a complete worked out module just to illustrate something. So I come up with just a skeleton of something to get the idea across and what happens is that the attention goes to how the skeleton could be approved in other ways, instead of trying to understand what ideas are trying to be communicated. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
