Thanks! > If you really need to, you can test for type: >>> for x in ['3',3,3.1,3j]: ... print type(x) <type 'str'> <type 'int'> <type 'float'> <type 'complex'> >>> for x in ['3',3,3.1,3j]: ... if type(x) is str: print "it's a string" ... elif type(x) is int: print "it's an int" ... elif type(x) is float: print "it's a float" ... elif type(x) is complex: print "it's a complex number" it's a string it's an int it's a float it's a complex number -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
