Yes, you have to convert beforehand. Dynamic typing and weak typing (as in perl or php) aren't the same thing. Dynamic typing means that you can rebind a variable (or better name) at runtime to contain a value with a new type. Weak typing means that an object is reinterpreted as a value of another type when needed - and (often) leads to difficult errors. Regards, Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
