I'm happy to say "==" means "the same" when applied to values, but one could reasonably object that "the same" ought to account for all properties of a value, and not just equality. The issue doesn't seem to come up when writing programs, though, in my experience. Donn Cave, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
