I don't understand that comment. Are you saying that str.join vs unicode.join isn't a clear distinction? I like using str.join/unicode.join myself, but one advantage of using separator.join directly is that you can save the bound method: joinlines = '\n'.join joinwords = ' '.join you can't do that by calling the method on the type. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
