What search terms are you googling for? The 3rd link returned from Google, searching for "python list size" is this one. http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus7/html/page82.html Yes, this is a simple/basic question. It is so simple/basic, that it gets discussed in just about every Python tutorial within the first 3 pages. > also, how can i determine what methods are available for a libxml2dom > object? Didn't I post a message earlier describing dir and help? You need to do some basic reading, man! -- Paul Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; give a man a fish every day and you feed him for the rest of his life. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
