Wow, you're right! I tried this: if x[0] and not x[0] == 'NULL': and sure enough it works after that. (Not sure if that's the best way to test, though. Just testing for NULL still produced the error, so I guessed that some namefirst fields were actually blank.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
