[snip example] Well well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. You learn something new everyday. Okay, I was wrong. There is no conflict between using j as a name and the built-in j-as-syntax-for-complex-numbers, except for any potential conflict in the programmers head. That makes me feel a lot less guilty about all the times I wrote for j in range loops :-) -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
