Would you have a problem with me describing Python as an untyped high-level assembly-language, and then working around the lack of JMP using try...exempt? Of course, I understand that it is no skin off your nose whether I write bad code or not, but you might get mighty frustrated with my constant questions on the news group "How do I write this piece of assembly code in Python?". -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
