I and others have been advocating for "equal" over "strict" for a whiie. this is yet another argument. Since I never liked "strict", I'm not sure I can argue why it might be more confusing or map than zip :-) Perhaps "truncate" or even "trunc" is a better keyword than either > strict or equal. Not that I'm arguing for a keyword here. > But it wouldn't be truncating anything. If we want to be wordy, equal_length would do it -- but I wouldn't want to be that wordy. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
