The spaces (or lack thereof) around the = do not matter in Python. (My habit is to use them; which conflicts with my (necessary) habit not to use them in shell scripts.) There is no difference in Python between a string in "double" quotes and one in 'single' quotes, except that the former can easily contain ' characters and the latter can easily contain " characters. (Got that one by the grammar checker. ;-)) As in "This doesn't cause problems." In this area, Python is quite different from, for example, Perl and Ruby. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
