Actually, after spending some time thinking about this, I've decided that sets are *not* mappings. I believe that a mapping should support __getitem__(); in addition, sets do not consist of key/value pairs like any other mapping. (Just to be clear, I do agree with your basic point; I'm nitpicking on a tangent.) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "19.
