In fact this is untrue: It is an official rule straight from the BDFL himself that example programs should contain words like "spam", "ham", "eggs" from the spam sketch. Other Monty Python sketch variables are acceptable as well. This in contrast to longstanding programmer practice to use the names "foo" and "bar" etc. Ironically, in introducing Python 2.5 features in his key note, he consistently used "foo" and "bar" himself. My faith is so shaken. ;-) Cheers, Terry Hancock -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
