Good point — I was assuming with all the hostility (OK, skepticism) to the idea, that it was a non-starter. But maybe some of that skepticism is due to the association with itertools. If it was just me: I probably would put it in builtins. But not before looking around to see how common a name “first” is in existing code. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
