Sorry forgot to answer your second question. Format could probably just be assumed and if IIRC, mod_python might be validating that the correct format is specified based on the value_type. Basically it is just there because that is how it was done previously and how it is currently done for a C module (since there isn't any kind of middle module, like mod_python, that can do the evaluation). So for consistency, I kept it. Brad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
