The format acts as a cast to str(), and integers do that by returning their decimal representation. If you passed objects, it would call their __str__ method. If you use %d it'll fail if they're not integers (or convertable to integers). -- Martin _______________________________________________ coders mailing list coders@slug.org.au http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
