On the other hand, having this behavior makes it so simple to deal with some algorithms because on doesn't need to know if the given object does or does not support len()... Having to test if something is of certain type then choosing what kind of test to apply is not something I'd like to have to do all the time. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
