Just read what it says. `It is only evaluated once' is quite clear I would say. Your problem is that you thought __setitem__ is part of evaluation, but it isn't. It is part of assignment, while __getitem__ is part of evaluation. See the definitions of __getitem__ and __setitem__ in the language reference manual. -- Piet van Oostrum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
