This question is immensely non-trivial unless you can form a precise definition of "images that look quite similar." It is one of those deceptive problems that seem straightforward, but become less and less well-defined the more you study it. If you can solve this you can get a PhD, get rich, get famous, or a combination of all three. The US Supreme Court gave up on identifying pornography, because the best definition anyone ever came up with was "I know it when I see it," a judgment quite reasonable in a legal system based on trusted authorities, but not a good one in a society "ruled by laws and not men." --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
