Ewww. I've been getting steadily less comfortable with this idea, despite the fact that I've been bitten a few times by iterating over strings. This, however, is enough to make me a firm thumbs-down on the idea: I think it is gratuitous code breakage. I think it is perfectly reasonable to want to look at a single character of a string. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "LL YR VWL R BLNG T S" _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
