That and the fact that I almost always type: foo.keys() and then get something useless and *then*, say "Doh!" and then have to add the list call. This is a case where I can give feedback based on actual experience with a feature. It's like you get user testing for free. :) I'd be interested to hear if other people who have experience working with ZODB BTrees have been as annoyed as I've been. Then again, I suspect that when you actually implement this you or perhaps other will be as annoyed with this feature as I am. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
