I like this way the most. I used timeit to benchmark this against the first one, expecting it to be faster (the first is a general false test, the last should just be comparing pointers) but it's slower. Still I don't expect that to ever matter, so I use it wherever I wish to test for None, it reads the best of all of them. -Sandra -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
