There's no guarantee that this puzzle is even conducive to (or > worthy of) a programming solution. Well, this is probably a good exercice in boolean logic - which is something very important in CS. But my question (sorry, it may not have been clear) was more along the line of : "why do you worry about identity in the given snippet ?". Rebinding a name already bound to a given object doesn't affect other names bound to the same object. So in this case, multiple assignement is perfectly safe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
