No, strings contain characters. And 'a' is a string consisting of one character. "The items of a string are characters. There is no separate character type; a character is represented by a string of one item." http://docs.python.org/ref/types.html (One item of what type, one might ask) -- René Pijlman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
