because you or someone else is passing in a string as the second argument, perhaps? >>> def aFunction(arg1, arg2=0): ... print type(arg2) ... >>> aFunction(1) <type 'int'> >>> aFunction(1, 2.0) <type 'float'> >>> aFunction(1, "two") <type 'str'> </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
