So while you may not have implemented your own version of complex you clearly implemented something you wanted to behave in the same way - and that didn't.

I'm sorry you don't like the support around here, I guess you get what you ask for. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd www.holdenweb.com Love me, love my blog holdenweb.blogspot.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
