that's up to the x implementation to decide, of course: >>> class MyContainer: ... def __getitem__(self, index): ... return index ... >>> x = MyContainer() >>> x[1] 1 >>> x[1, 2] (1, 2) >>> x[(1, 2, 3)] (1, 2, 3) >>> x[()] () noam's proposal is to make this work: >>> x[] () (but should it really result in an empty tuple? wouldn't None be a bit more Pythonic?) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
