Hi, Step 2 can be done using VerseKey.castTo(swkey)
castTo will return None if it cannot cast to it (it uses dynamic cast). This will happen if (for example) the range is Genesis 1:1, in which case it seems to just return a SWKey. Most of the wrapped classes have castTo for them. If you want to see how it is done in BPBible, look at http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/source/browse/trunk/swlib/pysw.py I have a class there called VerseList, which acts more like a list, and supports things like converting to nice strings (e.g. Genesis 1:1-10 instead of Genesis 1:1-Genesis 1:10). God Bless, Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 (ESV) On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 10:39 AM, Luke Plant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been trying to use Sword with Python bindings to simply get a > list of verses with a reference like "Genesis 1:1-10".
