Thanks. I get the same results. It is strange, though, that Google uses that title for the link, since the cached version also points to the 2.7 version of the page with title "7.1. string — Common string operations — Python v2.7.3 documentation" It is possible that during the transition to the new URL scheme, Google picked up a Python 3 page under the URL and then stored that for the page. It'll probably get corrected in one of the next Google scans, I guess. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Feb 14 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
